Opensource Contribution Meetup

Welcome to the first Rust Basel meetup focused on open source contributions!

Teambuilding

Build a team of two or three people. Teams with three people might want to make sure that at least one person has some prior experience with Rust.

Choose a project

First decide what option you want to pursue:

Options:

• Contribute to an existing Rust Open Source Project
• Start your own Open Source Project that integrates with Software via some Protocols or APIs

  • Open Source Software

  • Proprietary Software (Please be aware of Licenses and Terms of Service restrictions)

Solving Tickets

Make sure to first decide on the technical branch you are maybe intersted in:

• Embedded
• WebDev
• CLI
• GUI
• Databases
• ServerFrameworks
• Blockchain

Then search what projects exitst in that area, see if there are any open tickets. What to look out for:

• Tickets with Help Wanted Label
• Tickets with Good First Issue Label

Integrating with Projects

Normally you use some software that can be extended in some way or support interactions over some protocol or API. Think about what software you use on a daily basis, or what software you would like to use but is missing some maybe a ui or a cli.
