A while back I created a repo and registered a new domain for a site dedicated to just the oboe.

But I only ended up creating one commit and haven't touched it since ๐Ÿ˜†

As a former professional oboist, I had always wished there was a website dedicated just to the oboe where I can learn more about what is going on with the community.

Right now, the closest the community has is the International Double Reed Society

For this monthly challenge I want to do the following:

  • add a homepage
  • marketplace page that lists oboe vendors
  • Events page for oboe days and conferences

I'll be working on my digital garden.
I've got plenty of issues in the repo, but top 3 for me this month probably are:

  • Design dark mode toggle
  • Linking to tags
  • Design homepage

For this challenge, I'm going to try to get out of my comfort zone and work on an open source issue in a repo I've never worked in before.

Here are my goals:

  • Find an issue and get assigned
  • Create a PR
  • Write about the experience

I was a part of virtual coffee but I havenโ€™t gotten an email in a while. Still sending them out? Iโ€™d love to rejoin if my membership slipped.
