General

Q: How do I find a project with technology X? πŸš€

Q: Contribution guide? 😎

Q: I like project X but it's not active? 😭

  • Try to create issues/pull requests and see if someone responds if nobody responds move on to something else.

Q: Should I create an Issue or PR for a small change? πŸ˜‹

  • Do it according to project CONTRIBUTING guide. If it's not there or unclear create both Issue and PR. Refer to issue in PR.

Q: Am I allowed to direct message mentors? 🀐

  • Everyone benifits if you ask questions in Public gitter groups.
  • You may get help from more than one mentor. Some former students also hang around in these channels and they can help as well.

Q: Should I @Tag mentors to get their attention? 🀣🧲

  • Please post questions in relevant channels. @Tag limits your question to tagged people.
  • If you don't tag more people can answer as well.

  • Take a look at last commit in master/develop branches. Some might be only active in develop branch.
  • If commits are years or more than 5-6 months old. Project might not be active.

Q: How can I find relevant people to assign PR reviews? πŸ€”

  • Look previous issues/PRs to findout people that can carry out reviews.

Q: Help someone is harrasing me! 😡

  • Let members who were in the group for few years know of the situation, They will know how to handle it.

Q: Help reviewers are rejecting my PRs! ❌

  • This is usually due to a problem in the code. It's not targeted towards you.
  • Reviewers will usually say what to change. If not ask them.

Google Summer of Code

    • Priority is always given to those who have already contributed.
  • Discuss ideas!! like to build a new thing Y in Project X.. don't keep it in your head. Tell us.
  • It's better to use a google doc when you are discussing ideas as it's easier to discuss/review.
