| My first OSS project contributions went like this: * Start using some software that I liked * Read the documentation and notice poor grammar, punctuation, typos etc. * submit PR for documentation (man pages, comment lines etc.) * get PR merged and introduced to the dev team. * submit more small PRs that are code based (expand existing classes, add minor features) etc. * the maintainers will generally give feedback that your code doesn't fit into style guides, linters, case conventions etc. So patch it up and get it merged. * Now you can pretty much do whatever. Test the code on Arm64. Add new OSes to their build pipeline. My advice: Start small. Actually talk to the maintainers. |
