Why Campus Outreach is required?

Campus outreach is vital for sustainable C4GT contributions to the community program as it enables engagement with students and fosters awareness of DPGs.

What are the problems we are trying to solve for?

• Currently, less participation in the C4GT Community Program across colleges.
• Lack of awareness about the Community program.
• Students do not find value in contributing to DPGs, because of less stars and awareness of scale (except some popular DPGs).

Why students are not contributing to the community program?

• Lack of awareness about the community program and its benefits.
• Time constraints due to academic commitments and personal responsibilities.
• Lack of incentives such as certificates, recognition, or career development opportunities.
• Ineffective communication and insufficient updates about the program.
• Skill gap and lack of experience and limited understanding of the long-term benefits and impact of participating in open source initiatives.
• Limited collaboration opportunities or preference for team-based projects.
• Perception of open source projects as difficult or intimidating.
• Difficulty in finding suitable projects or issues within the community program.
