[SOLVED] Website About Learning To Contribute To Open-Source Development
A couple of months ago, I happened upon a website dedicated to guiding people in beginning to contribute to open-source development. It included some very basic beginner information as well as more advanced material. I haven't been successful in finding the site again. Does anyone think they know the site I'm referring to? So far I've been unsuccessful in searching for it so I can return there and begin to utilize the resources it offers.

Hello and Welcome.
I like your enthusiasm, it's what makes the GNU-Linux world go 'round. There must be hundreds of websites dedicated to "Contributing To Open-Source Development", perhaps you could help us by narrowing it down a bit. Can you remember anything about the link you visited? Was it a WIKI page? A HOWTO? Is it possibly still in your browser history? Here is a couple that I found. You might find them helpful or not.

I Found It!
Mike,
I found it! Your questions got me thinking back to every little thing, however inconsequential, I thought I remembered about the site. After some false-start searches, I hit on a combination of search terms that brought me links, which, with some scrolling and clicking, led me to the site! It's OpenHatch, and I am so excited!
It is not as beginner-focused as I remembered, but plenty beginner-friendly, enough so as to trigger my comfort-zone response. First, I reached an article about the site,
"Getting Started: How to contribute to open source" at Linux Magazine and that led me to the site!
I would have linked to it, but of course I'm under the 15 posts before linking limit.
Thanks completely!
Glenn
