Abstract

The Open Source Software (OSS) development is gaining popularity from year to year, however, entering the OSS community still remains a challenging task. In this work, we describe challenges faced by a beginner OSS code-developer during the first contribution. Additionally, we analyze our experience and offer hints for potential newcomers. Whole work was done as the project of the Open Source Software undergraduate course at the Computer Department of Nazarbayev University.
