About OpenHatch

OpenHatch is an open source project with the goals of lowering the barriers to entry into open source contribution and increasing diversity. We achieve these goals through a number of endeavors:

  • training missions on the OpenHatch website that help you get experience with common tools of open source development: http://openhatch.org/missions/
  • an active IRC channel, #openhatch on Freenode, where we mentor new contributors to open source projects.
  • outreach events of several flavors, including the Boston Python Workshop and Open Source Comes to Campus events.
  • a project rolodex and indexed bugs that help match projects and volunteers. You can browse projects and bugs based on your interests and desired programming languages. In particular, we have "bitesized" bugs that have been identified as good, small tasks for new contributors: http://openhatch.org/search/
