Once you click on the issue ticket hyperlink, you’ll be directed to GitHub. GitHub is the actual interface for contributing. Understanding the ticket is vital to your contribution journey.
Once you’re done reading the ticket, you can comment on the ticket tagging Shruti from the C4GT team & the respective mentor to show your interest. The mentors will respond & assign the ticket for you to work on.
Now you’re all set to dive deep into the world of C4GT community tickets. To contribute to these tickets, you can refer to the introductory videos by the relevant DPG / DPI builder & adopter organizations. The first video explains the organization’s background and the nature of the products they work on and the second video dives deep into the tickets that have been posted on the C4GT community.
We’ll be organizing weekly catch-ups with the mentors who are mentoring the issue tickets. Do join these calls to interact with the mentors & clarify your doubts. We’ll keep you notified about the weekly connects on our discord server. Here’s the channel for it.
