Hello everyone!
I hope this message finds you well.
I am a first-year IT student with exposure to C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and I’ve worked with ROS during the e-yantra competition of IIT Bombay. While I’m still in the early stages of my IT journey, I am eager to explore opportunities and contribute to open source projects.
So any insight you can provide me with will be helpful regarding the ongoing projects you are working with…
Thanks for your interest! Our software is almost all written in Python (though knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS is helpful for working with our documentation). We have pretty thorough contributor guidelines here and lots of usage tutorials here. Please also be sure to check out our community participation guide.
Most contributors are also users of the software, and often their first contribution relates to a bug they found when analyzing their own neuroscience data, or a new feature that they wished they could have used when analyzing their data. If you aren’t studying neuroscience or familiar with EEG/MEG/fNIRS data, you might have an easier time contributing if you work through several of our tutorials first (roughly in the order that they appear on the tutorials page linked above). If you encounter things you don’t understand, can’t follow, or can’t get to work, feel free to open new forum threads to ask for help — this is a great way to help us improve our tutorials to make them more beginner-friendly.
Thank you… I’ll surely check out the tutorials.
