Sometime around April last year I attended a FOSS conference and found interest in contributing to open source projects.
Deciding on which project to contribute to?
GNOME attracted me not just because I was a happy user but also because of the amazing development tools it has (especially jhbuild!).
Which apps in GNOME?
I love games! So I started off talking to Michael Catanzaro (#mcatanzaro) and he helped me out picking and fixing my first bug in “tali”.
Thereafter, I continued looking for and fixing issues and improving the existing games code.
I’m now one of the primary maintainers of gnome-chess and I’m having a blast!
Help will always be given at GNOME-IRC to those who ask for it!
Looking back its been an awesome journey from attaching my first patch to becoming a foundation member!
