Hi Plone Community!
My name is Ayush Som, a fresher software engineer passionate about open-source development and eager to contribute to the Plone Foundation’s projects. With hands-on experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, I have worked on building scalable web applications and streamlining deployment workflows using Git/GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure (AWS). I amm now excited to channel these skills into contributing meaningfully to Plone’s ecosystem while deepening my expertise in content management systems and community driven development.
Preparations So Far
- Training Materials: I’ve started working through the Mastering Plone Development and Plone Deployment guides to understand best practices.
- Community Guidelines: I’ve reviewed the [Contributing to Plone documentation, including the Code of Conduct.
Seeking Guidance
As I begin my open source journey, I would appreciate advice on:
- Starter Issues: Are there specific repositories or labeled issues ("good first issue") suited for someone with my background?
- Skill Alignment: Given my experience in languages JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and DevOps (CI/CD, cloud deployments), which Plone projects or tools could benefit most from contributions?
- Learning Pathways: Are there additional trainings or community discussions ,I should prioritize?
Best,
Ayush Som
