Open source is a cornerstone of modern software development, but the journey can be daunting for new contributors. After collaborating with the open-source community, we’ve identified a few key challenges that deter developers from getting involved: complex codebases, steep learning curves, and unfamiliarity with project structures.

We are trying something new to address these obstacles—leveraging AI to empower developers.

By utilizing Tublian’s AI Developer Agent, we aim to provide new contributors with tools that help them navigate the complexities of open-source projects, enabling them to focus on solving real problems creatively.

Our Objective

We aim to empower developers by introducing AI into their workflow. Tublian’s AI Developer Agent will guide them, helping them overcome the hurdles of complexity, unfamiliar codebases, and overwhelming information.

This allows them to spend more time on the creative and problem-solving aspects of coding and less on the frustrating parts.

Program Overview

The program is structured into four distinct phases, each designed to help new contributors make meaningful contributions to open source using AI.

Week 1: Learn Open Source

• Get familiar with the fundamentals of open source and why it matters.

• Master Git/GitHub and start contributing by creating your first Pull Request.

Week 2: Pick Your Community

• Explore the structure of open-source projects and their communities.

• Choose a project that aligns with your interests and start contributing by improving documentation.

Week 3: Become a Helper

• Learn the role of maintainers and the challenges of managing projects.

• Contribute by triaging issues and tackling “good first issues.”

Week 4: Make Code Contributions

• Dive into an unfamiliar codebase.

• Start making meaningful code contributions to the projects you care about

We track your progress by ensuring at least one merged open-source contribution each week. You'll complete tasks, receive feedback, and attend live mentorship sessions.

Our program is designed for all developers, regardless of their skill level. Starting from 1st Oct 2024
