Getting Started with Open Source
summary
Explains concrete first steps: learn Git and GitHub, read the README LICENSE CODE OF CONDUCT, scan repos by language, check license before contributing, pick good first issues, run the project locally, submit pull requests. Shares a personal path: first contribution at 14, banned then later mentors Google Summer of Code, starts an org at 17 and builds three projects including Donut social media, raises Linux Foundation funding for five mentees, and points to paid mentorship stipends ($3k–$6k) as next steps.
