Hey Gourav! Thanks for starting this amazing project. I don't write blogs actually, but if I plan to, I'll share about IOSF for sure, as my contribution journey started from this project only.

[GouravSardana]

No worries. No one is professional blogger here. Just share your journey. I'll happy to share every blog from IOSF Linkedin account ;)

Hi Gaurav,That's a good idea; I'll write an article on this topic in this month sometime and will share it over here. Glad to be a part of IOSF 😄

Thanks @guptaaastha . Please do share when you have time to write some blog.

If you have any other person who is interested in open source. Please recommend. Will definitely help them !

Most important problem as a freshman in most of colleges they don't know about opensource and literally if they want to contribute to it, there is no particular website that guides us. Hopefully we have iosf now and obviously Gsoc plays important role in this but first u have to get experience in certain area to get opensource Internship. But if u really want to contribute to open source except Gsoc it's really difficult to find one. Now I know how to do it after some research and web crawling.

Hi @GouravSardana, it's been a while hopping on a DM.

TBH, I haven't made any contributions towards IOSF. But I may be able to throw some light in these questions:

• How you started contributing to Open Source?
• What are the difficulties you have while contributing to Open Source?

Since, I've been a maintainer for this organisation during HacktoberFest last year, where contributors contributed mostly documentation for early stage developers, and me and my team thoroughly reviewed the same.

Along the while, I'll be able to add details of how I came to know about IOSF and give details of some of the fantastic sessions we had.

Do let me know if that works.

[GouravSardana]

Yes that would definitely works

Cool, then kindly look forward to it within a week or so. :)
