Begin With Open Source

Are you interested in Open Source? But don't know how to start? I am here to help you. If you wanna start there are some beginner friendly programs which you can join to help yourself get started with open source.

  • GirlScript Summer of Code.
  • LGM Summer of Code
  • PClub Summer of Code
  • DevIncept
  • Kharagpur Winter of Code
  • NJACK Winter of Code
  • DevScript Winter of Code

How to Contribute ?
You can join the projects you like or the domain you are familiar with. All you need is the zeal to learn and implement simultaneously. But wait don't get demotivated by seeing large codebase. Just try to grab the code. Try contributing to small changes such as scrollbar, responsiveness, footer changes and all. Then try making contributing to larger problems. Now you are good to go.

Now I am ready to contribute to larger programs

Some of such programs are

  1. RGSOC
  2. GSOC
  3. Red Hat Open Source
  4. Linux Foundation Open Source

After reading this article do contribute to some open source project and then comment down your experience.
