Finding a Great Project to Work On, or
Great People to Work
on Your Project
Deb Nicholson, MediaGoblin
January 12th, 2015
“Don't put up with any crap”
Shauna Gordon-Mckeon
Are their current
contributors happy?
Are they teaching
people to fish?
Code isn't everything
When a project has contributors
with lots of different skills
When coders think they can do all the
“soft skill” tasks
Start up a conversation
as soon as possible
(this should be the easy part)
Just contact us through this box.
A good website should function as a
welcome wagon
A healthy project will be happy to greet
new people
Find something interesting to you
Non-coders are the same
But they're also different
How some other folks have
found great projects
Look for a Code of Conduct
Look for participation
in outreach programs
