New to writing? Start here.

We love featuring first-time writers and folks who are just starting to share their stories. If you’re not sure what to write about, here are some easy ways to get started:

  • Write about what you know. Share your experience working with an open source project, tool, or community.
  • Write about something you’re learning. Talk about a new programming language, framework, or tool you’re exploring—and what others should know if they’re getting started too.
  • Write about a problem you solved. Walk us through a bug you fixed, a feature you added, or a challenge you worked through.
  • Write about your experience using a new open source app. Share what worked, what didn’t, and what others can expect.
  • Write about your open source journey. Tell us how you got involved in open source and what you’ve learned along the way.
  • Write about community and collaboration. Highlight a positive experience contributing to a project or working with others.
  • Write for your past self. What do you wish you’d known six months ago? A year ago? Help someone else with that same question today.

You don’t need to be an expert—you just need a story. We’re here to help you share it.
