===ContextOur & ProcessMotivation===
 
Our “Open Source Comes to Campus” events rely heavily on students attempting to fix real bugs in active open source projects. As such, it's important for us to identify a large number of [[#What_makes_for_a_good_bug.3F | good "bite-size" bugs]] that students can work on. Past experience has taught us that an appropriate list of bugs can not be generated at the last minute, but rather needs to be curated over the weeks leading up to an event.
 
We are excited to make connections with open source projects that are looking to welcome new contributors into their communities. We believe that this process will benefit everyone involved.
 
===Process===
 
Our intention is to create a [[#Project_List | list of open source projects]] which we will work with to collect good beginner bugs for our events. Where possible, we will:
 
* email maintainers and/or the broader community to announce our intentions
* create an Open Hatch account in that project's bug tracker which can claim and/or be assigned bite sized bugs

We are happy to work with project communities to make sure we are not taking too many bugs or in any way impeding development. We also wish to stress that, for any individual bugs, members of the community would be welcome to say, "Actually, I would like to claim this one" or "If you can't have this done by X data, please release it."
