Hi, I'm Omkumar—a Linux enthusiast and documentation contributor passionate about making open source more accessible for beginners and Hindi speakers.
🌟 My First Contribution: VS Code
I added a Hindi localization section and improved the Quick Start guide in the README. It was merged successfully, and seeing my name in the contributors list was a proud moment!
🛠️ My Second Contribution: Node.js
I raised an issue suggesting improvements to Linux setup instructions. I offered to submit a PR to help beginners avoid common build errors.
💡 Why Documentation Matters
Documentation is the first thing beginners see. Translating and simplifying it lowers the barrier for new contributors—especially those who prefer learning in their local language.
🔰 Tips for Beginners
- Start small—fix typos, improve formatting, or translate docs
- Use “good first issue” labels to find beginner-friendly tasks
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions or submit imperfect PRs
🙌 Final Thoughts
Open source isn’t just about code—it’s about community. Your voice matters. Your language matters. Let’s build together.
