Subject: [prog] open source contribution in python
Message-ID: <CAHd=nzTqoXKN2o9jYoak=Yvifyk+LaiZAJ0cL+60Hy88C0WSeA@mail.gmail.com>

I am Maitreyee.I want to apply in outreachy this year. I know the
basics of python. I browsed through some open source projects on
python but the libraries and frameworks they use and the source code
itself look so vast and intimidating, I have no idea which and how to
start learning.

It would be really great if someone could guide me on what technologies
to learn, which projects to contribute to so that I have a good chance
of getting my outreachy proposal accepted.

Thanks in advance.

A lot of bigger projects have issues tagged "easy" or similar which can be a useful entry point to contributing to open source. Otherwise another way can be finding out where projects discuss things and just asking if they have any easier jobs that need doing.

It helped me improve my Python and skills with Git, rst documentation.

OTOH, I know nothing about Outreachy applications, but I'd say find something that sparks your interests.
