GopherSource: OpenSource for Gophers
summary
An initiative called GopherSource website packages concrete advice: how to find projects, how to join Slack, and clear expectations for contributors. Examples and tools include dep, Kubernetes Service Catalog, the Athens proxy, Gerrit versus GitHub, and the Kubernetes contributor experience team. One project doubles contributor count after targeted onboarding, another survives a lead’s emergency because maintainers already have merge rights and use GitHub thumbs‑up voting, proving community design matters as much as code.
