Agenda

1. If you don’t have one yet: create a GitHub account – it’s free.
2. Find a team mate.
   Working together in teams works great to get to know fellow attendees, learn from each other and help the mentors to be available to everyone.
3. Add yourself as participant
4. Find an issue to work on with your team
5. Enjoy :)

Open Source projects and issues for new contributors

• Hoodie Camp – look for the up for grabs label.
• Babel - beginner-friendly issues
• PouchDB - "help wanted" issues
• nteract – new contributer friendly issues
• Contributor.ninja - aggregates many beginner-friendly issues

You can also search for issues across all repositories. Good labels to look for are first-timers-only, good-first-pr and help wanted. You can also search by programming languages by adding language:python for example (see searching issues for all available options).

Maintainers: please add links to contributor-friendly issues above :)
