There will be no specific topic or presentation, just a bunch of nerds nerding out on a (presumably) rainy Saturday afternoon.</p> <p>Just to be clear, this is intended for all levels of programming/rust experience:</p> <ul> <li>Folks with more experience will benefit by possibly gaining new contributors for their projects.</li> <li>Folks with little/no experience will benefit from direct guidance working on a specific feature/bug in an existing project.</li> </ul> <p>Recommendations for those with projects in mind:</p> <p>Since we are asking that some of you come prepared with a project or two in mind that could benefit from additional contributors, the following will help:</p> <ul> <li>Post a comment on this [meetup.com] event with a link to the open source repository that you would like to invite people to work on.</li> <li>Create a list of issues that your project(s) could use help on. If you use Github as a project management tool, a github issue for each bug/feature/improvement you have in mind would be immensely helpful as a way to establish continuity between you and your new contributors after this meetup.</li> <li>Keep in mind the varying levels of skill/experience other folks might have and be prepared to offer some relatively low-hanging fruit in addition to more difficult tasks.</li> </ul> <p>Also, don't let your lack of experience with programming/rust or lack of ownership over a particular project prevent you from proposing a project to work on...I personally have very little Rust experience and no projects of my own but know of a couple projects that could benefit from new contributors!</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/PDXRust/events/229468645/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
