Plots2: Create "first-timers-only" issues for newcomers

Created on 8 Mar 2019  ·  196Comments  ·  Source: publiclab/plots2

Hi everyone!

We, at Public Lab, are known for welcoming new contributors into the Open Source world but a number of times, newcomers were not able to find first-timers-only issues to start their journey or face troubles making their first contribution with us.

Reasons being:

  1. Lack of first-timers-only issues
  2. Struggle in finding the good issue to start and lack of enough support?

We are working on both of the above aspects to support and help the maximum number of people to take their first step in their OSS journey with us, through our various projects but we need more support for this. So, this is a call to all the Public Lab members to try and create a first-timers-issue for someone who wants to start their journey and waiting for an FTO being assigned to them.

If you are interested in creating first-timers-only issue, follow these instructions:

  1. Browse through the publiclab.org and see if there's a bug which can be easily solved
  2. Solve this issue but don't create a PR this time, instead create a FTO issue
  3. Click on this link to start creating a new issue
  4. We follow a specific template for FTO issues, so copy the template from here
  5. Edit the issue body to add the goal of the issue, code snippet required, file to be updated, add screenshots(if required). Don't add code snippet required to solve in case, the issue just requires minor HTML or CSS change or equivalent.
  6. Add a catchy and relevant title to the issue but don't include "FTO" , "first-timers-only" or equivalent in title
  7. Get the issue you just created labeled by mentioning @publiclab/reviewers or @publiclab/plots2-reviewers.
  8. If you have labeling privileges, feel free to do so yourself but ensure that you have used FTO template.
  9. If you are not able to mention the above-mentioned teams, and doesn't have labeling privileges, then drop a line in Gitter channel - https://gitter.im/publiclab/publiclab or mention @jywarren @gauravano @SidharthBansal and any one of us will surely follow-up with you. You can also mention any other member, you can think of with labeling privileges.
  10. It's time to invite a new contributor to your issue. If there are unchecked names in the below list, then those people are still looking for FTO issue to start with, so mention them in your FTO by writing - This issue is created for @[contributor-name]. Thanks!
    Also, if you see, a new contributor is looking for an issue, feel free to point them to your FTO.

Hi, we are looking for support issues like this on each repository of
Public Lab. You can create as many ftos on IS as you want. Also it will be
greatly appreciated if you will open up
https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/wiki/Supportive-Tasks these kinds of
tasks at each repository of Public Lab. We are planning for a better
community at all the repositories.

I was asking if somebody can open such a supportive task issue on IS.

Can an issue similar to the one I'm commenting on be opened in IS is and can it be pinned by someone is my question. IS also has a shortage of FTOs.

Also I think all of the fto-candidate issues should be reformatted into proper first-timers-only issues

@gauravano I have opened an issue in IS https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/842. I have based it on your template for this issue. I hope you don't mind.

Hey @HarshKhandeparkar, thanks for opening this issue in Image Sequencer :100: :rocket:

Hello! I actually am pretty new to GitHub and it's kind of confusing to me, in the sense that I want to contribute to projects but I don't know where to start. Could you please add my name to this list too?

@coderbeetle Ya sure! You are always welcome. Btw, which language/framework/anything are
you interested in/good at? If ruby is your cup of tea, then we can add your
name here, otherwise you can check some other PL repo and we can introduce
you to that community. Thanks.

@HarshKhandeparkar Hey, thanks! And sorry I forgot to mention that ^^ Ruby is great, I'm not too experienced with it but I'm up for the challenge! Anything Java or Javascript would also be great.

@coderbeetle I will add your name here but there's also another one of these issue in one of publiclab's JS repos 'image-sequencer'. Shall I add your name there as well?

Also there are many other JS repos, the majority of publiclab repos are JS, you can check them out as well.

I would love to help with Ruby, currently i'm on internship/junior level and trying to contribute in open source projects to sharp some skills like reading others code, test and code to production. But I can help with some HTML, CSS, Python(flask), and translations from English to Portuguese Brazil, thanks in advance.

hey @cassianoblonski, I have created a FTO for you at https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4992. But, we would also love to have your help on the Translation front. Thanks!

Will point you to our Transifex account very soon :)

Hello, I am looking for a first timer only issues. Can someone assign an issue to me as well?

Hi there! I'm new to publiclab and would like to contribute to the repo. I have some experience with RoR and CSS. Not sure if I need to be assigned an issue as a newcomer. I'll look at the list as well. Thank you!

hey @cassianoblonski, I have created a FTO for you at #4992. But, we would also love to have your help on the Translation front. Thanks!

Will point you to our Transifex account very soon :)

Thank you very much, and i'll glad to help you with the translation, when ready just point me.

Hey there, am looking for first-timer issue. Kindly help please.

Thank you @gauravano . I'd also appreciate a lot if am added to the list too. If possible :)

@gauravano There is no response in two issues assigned five days ago. So Is it possible to assign a new person for this. I already asked for update two days ago.

5054 --- closed as it is similar to https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5102

5004 --- asked the contributor at https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4963#issuecomment-473927184

5005 --- can be assigned

@gauravano of course I am ok with any repo ..i just need to work on a First timer issue

@Jaya738 would you like your name to be added in https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/842? This is a js repo

@HarshKhandeparkar yes. Thank you , I will work on it

Great!!

hey @CleverFool77, thanks for going through the issues. I have updated the status https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/4963#issuecomment-473765415

The link to fto template was broken so i fixed it.

I am looking for a FTO. Please add my name to the list.

Done @shubhi2000!

@gauravano I am an outreachy applicant and want to work as FTO at PublicLab. How can I contribute as that?

I've added you to the list to get your own first-timers-only issue! Thank you @vaarigupta !

In the meantime, you could look at an existing open one in https://code.publiclab.org and see if you could help someone else or follow what they've done? Thanks a lot!

@gauravano https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/898 has been assigned to @vaarigupta. Should that be added to the list here? I can see mapknitter issues being assigned in the list.

Hello there finished my FTO about 1 day ago. Can i get another one preferably on Django, HTML, CSS and(or) Bootstrap4. Or whats the next step?

Hello! You can browse through all the issues and try to solve any one of those.

Oh alright thanks.

You can also browse through the issues of any repo of https://github.com/publiclab/

https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer has js, html and css

There are some another ruby on rails projects as well.

https://github.com/publiclab/community-toolbox is a js project. It is the website https://code.publiclab.org

@gauravano publiclab/image-sequencer#898 has been assigned to @vaarigupta. Should that be added to the list here? I can see mapknitter issues being assigned in the list.

Actually, don't check @vaarigupta's name here yet as she's a Outreachy participant so should perform a task at plots2 for getting familiar with this codebase. Although, she can also do issue at image-sequencer too, that's appreciable.

Thanks!

I'd love to be added to this list and get the opportunity to contribute to the open source community. I could be helpful in several languages including PHP, CSS, JavaScript, etc.

I have some knowledge in C++ as well and would be up for a challenge.

Thank you!

Hi @teisenhower! This project is majorly ruby on rails. Are you ok with that? Also majority of publiclab's projects are JavaScript. There is a similar list in one of our js projects - ImageSequencer. Should I add ur name there?
List - https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/842. Also since most of the publiclab repos are js, you can browse through them here

@HarshKhandeparkar Thank you for your reply! Yes if you could please add my name to that JS Project list that would be great.

Ruby on rails is a language I am not familiar with unfortunately. But it seems like I should start learning it.

Thank you again!

Ruby on rails is a framework for the language ruby. This framework is used for creating blogs etc.(i guess). Even I have never used ruby. So I will mention from the ImageSequencer js repo.

@HarshKhandeparkar Thank you for the clarification on that!

Hello my name is Dorcas and I am interested in FTO issues

Hello, I am looking for a first timer only issues. Please assign me one

Hi @techchic and @ananya, added your names to the above list and we'll ping you soon whenever FTO issues are created. Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for a first timer only issues. Please assign me one

Hi @PritiShaw, you can start working on this one - https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5049. Thanks!

@gauravano what does it mean if a user not at the bottom of the list is unchecked?

@sashadev-sky sometimes newcomers ask to add their names to the list and also find an FTO which is inactive/available on their own, so I check their name here too. So, that's how some names in the middle of the list may remain unchecked.

But, yes, all the unchecked names are of those who are still waiting for an FTO issue.

Hey @helenatxu, removing your name from the above list for now as you're busy- https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5021#issuecomment-474641336

But, feel free to reach out whenever you want to start with an issue.

Thanks!

🎉 🎉

@gauravano I am applying for the Outreachy internship, can you help me with the column where it says "Outreachy internship project timeline".
The description says to discuss it with the mentor.
Thank You!

That's awesome @sashadev-sky!

Hey @Priyak5, please post your proposal at publiclab.org, see https://publiclab.org/notes/gauravano/03-12-2019/call-for-outreachy-2019-proposals for reference. You can start a timeline there and I or maybe another Outreachy mentor will chime-in with suggestions. Thanks!

Hello, I am a ruby / rails developer (intermediate in JS as well) - looking for a FTO issue. Please let me know how I can help!

@gauravano I have drafted my initial proposal in the link you provided. Can you please review it ?
Thank you.

hey @stoic-plus, I have added your name to the above list and we'll mention you soon on an FTO issue. Thanks!

@Priyak5 will see your proposal in some hours. Thanks :+1:

Hello, I am looking for a first timer only issues. Can someone assign an issue to me as well? Preferably in HTML @gauravano

Hello, I am a computer science student at the University of Michigan looking to make a few open source contributions for a class project. I would be interested in being added to the list, but I was curious if anyone could chime on if this would be doable in a two week time frame?

Hi @starcruizer @Alecg956, added your names to the list :+1: .

@Alecg956 yes, you would be done with your first-contribution in 2 weeks. Also, if you want a little complex issue, then feel free to ask. Thanks!

Hey! @gauravano I am looking up for a FTO issues. If any, kindly assign it to me. I would be glad to learn more. Thanks!

@gauravano A slightly complex issue would be great! Thanks for the response.

Hi @Alecg956 if you are looking to try catching a bug we're looking at, we could use help on https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/2206 -- but it's not set up as a first-timers-only issue, where we guide each step. Either way - perhaps you could take a FTO and then move on to #2206 if you solve it fast?

Thank you!!!

Hi @jywarren, for the class we are required to actually write and attempt to submit a PR within the two week period, so I am not sure if that issue will fit (let me know). For now we will wait for assignment on our first issue, let me know if you can think of any other issues that would work! Thanks.

Can I have another FTO please?

Sorry but you can only solve one FTO. If you have solved one, you are no longer a first timer. Congrats you have made your first contribution to PublicLab OSS. You can try solving an issue with the small label.
Thanks.

Ok. Thank you

Hi!!! There are also a lot of issues marked 'fto-candidate' which are small
but haven't been reformatted to be an FTO yet!
https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/labels/fto-candidate

Thank you so much!

5340 and #5341 are for @stoic-plus and @starcruizer!

Hi Im new here. Im looking for a first time issue. Preferably something in JS. Thanks in advance

Hi @dimpho0101, you can start working on https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5346. Thanks!

Hey @Alecg956, you can work on #5347 . Thanks!

Hello!
I am looking to contribute to OSS
Can anyone assign me an issue?
Preferably in C++,Java,HTML,Python,Django
I am novice to moderately skilled
Thanks!

Quick question, probably wrong place for it, are these tests supposed to be failing?

ERROR["test_image_creation_success_should_render_the_details_about_the_image_in_the_form_of_json", #<Minitest::Reporters::Suite:0x00007fd436cf3368 @name="ImagesControllerTest">

This first one has this error

Paperclip::Errors::CommandNotFoundError: Could not run the `identify` command. Please install ImageMagick
  • I'm curious if this is a gem?
ERROR["test_user_with_duplicate_username_creation_with_create_with_omniauth", #<Minitest::Reporters::Suite:0x00007fd44ca8d4c8 @name="UserTest">, 157.04117100010626]

Everything else is passing. Not sure if these are because of issues on my end or if they are supposed to be failing

Hey @atjustbeinghumaid, added your name to the list. Will mention you soon on a FTO issue. Thanks!

Hey @stoic-plus, please mention the PR where you're getting the errors. In case, you are getting errors locally, then feel free to raise PR, we can see tests status there only.

Thanks!

@atjustbeinghumaid here's a issue https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/5360 for you. Created by @jainaman224 :tada:

@gauravano you can reassign my issue and take me off the list for now, I am actually not able to do any work for the next 2 weeks

Sure @Alecg956! Also, let us know, whenever you want to solve an issue with us, we'll be happy to add your name again. Thanks!

Hi guys! New FTO up for grabs in the Leaflet.DistortableImage repo: https://github.com/publiclab/Leaflet.DistortableImage/issues/189

Hi, I would like to make my first contribution to the community, is there any issue available? Thanks!

@UNnamed66 you can work on https://github.com/publiclab/Leaflet.DistortableImage/issues/198! Please ignore the comments under it about the git flow to follow (that was for another user who has done an FTO before so I was creating something new for them to try) and just follow the PR description :)

Hi, I am looking to contribute to any FTO on HTML and CSS. Thanks!

Hi @benfanderson, just added your name to the above list and we'll mention you soon on a issue. Thanks!

@publiclab/plots2-reviewers if you see any inactive FTO, please drop the link here or mention the people waiting for FTO. Thanks!

https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/574 is the new html-css fto. Please feel free to claim it if you are willing to do some frontend work. Thanks

@benfanderson you can claim and send a pull request to it if you want thanks

5547 and #5407 are open FTOs. They were claimed earlier but since there is no activity in them for the past 2 weeks, therefore anyone can claim them again and get started with their journey to Public Lab.

Thanks!!

Hi @konolga and @ahmadkarlam, added your name to the above list and we'll mention you soon on FTO issues. Also, you can go ahead and try to find the unclaimed or outdated FTO issues from https://code.publiclab.org/#r=all. Thanks!!

Hi everyone ,
If anyone is up for some research work , we have this FTO issue up in leaflet-environmental-layers: https://github.com/publiclab/leaflet-environmental-layers/issues/53 .
Thanks 😄 !

Hi,

Interested in contributing, preferably back end logic. Thanks!

Hi @dannomayer, I've added your name to the above list and we'll mention you as soon as task matching your preference pops up. Also, as many of the FTO tasks are the frontend issues or documentation, so maybe you would be interested in taking up a little bit complex task? If that so, let me know the language or framework you prefer. Thanks!

@dannomayer or anyone else interested here is a first-timer-issue #5795

Hi, @Esh08 I have added your name to the list, whenever a first-timers issue will be created, we will assign it to you.
Thanks!

@Esh08 you can work on https://github.com/publiclab/Leaflet.DistortableImage/issues/250! I will mention you there :)

Hey! Thanks for the opportunity, Reading the info, looks like I have a
week, I'll try my best. Will keep you posted:)
