We maintain a number of open source projects that are built in-house to serve our own needs. Most of our projects also have associated pages on this wiki (see the sidedbar). Below is a list of easy(er) issues to get started with. There are also some harder ones below for those ore advanced/knowledgable with our tech stack.
We've compiled a list of issues that would be good ones for someone getting started with our tech stack or first year's with their pdp. Each one is listed with what you might need to know to get started, who to talk to about it, and how hard it is/how much effort it will take. Contributions to open source software is a fantastic way to develop your skills a software engineer while also giving back to the community.
For help getting started and with bugs you may encounter, the best was to contact us is in the #tech-team channel on discord
