Hi friends.

I am interested in contributing to open-source projects in Kotlin

Do you know how I can get started? Please can you guide me, friends?

[Sam]

Not sure where I'd start, there are so many projects out there! Here are some ideas that come to mind:
• There's an #opensource channel where some open source projects are discussed
• See #kontributors for opportunities to contribute to the Kotlin language and libraries
• Note that the #feed channel is used for news and announcements. For general questions in future you can use #getting-started, #general-advice or #random.

[Sam]

There are also quite a few specific channels here for individual open source projects

[Mosab N. R.]

@Sam Thanks, I'll take a look, buddy.

A good way to start is to look at a library you're already using, and read through their issue tracker and see if there's something that piques your interest

Most maintainers will be happy to guide you, but expect them to take a few days to reply

And use the search function.

We had the same question two days ago:

Nice, I will search.

@Sam is there a list of open source projects in Kotlin? I have a project that should be on such a list. 🙂

[Stefan Oltmann]

There are many.
Search GitHub for "awesome Kotlin".

[Stefan Oltmann]

It it's Multiplatform it should be one the popular https://github.com/terrakok/kmp-awesome

[Stefan Oltmann]

This is of course for libraries and other useful stuff.

You won't find a list of every Android app. 😄

[CLOVIS]

I recommend searching on https://kamp.petuska.dev/, not all authors add their libraries to kmp-awesome

[CLOVIS]

or just open random channels on this slack 🙂
