Hi all, great to be here! I would like to contribute to the https://bostonopen.github.io website - how do I get started?

A message was moved here from #general > backlog by Gabor Szabo.

Hi! First, bostonopen.github.io redirects to bostonopen.dev so they are equivalent. We usually call it bostonopen.dev

There's a button a the top that says "view on GitHub". If you click it, you'll be taken to https://github.com/bostonopen/bostonopen.github.io where you are very welcome to create a pull request.

I'm wondering about "Connect with fellow developers in the Boston area"

It works fine for us, but would it make non-developers feel a bit excluded? What other groups could we include?

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 14:15):

designers?

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 14:15):

community managers?

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 14:16):

QA?

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 14:16):

project managers?

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 14:16):

users?

I thought it’s a dev meetup :sweat_smile: - open to having anyone though

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 16:16):

Well, we do have "dev" in the name :sweat_smile:

But what if someone shows up who's like "I love Linux! I even brought my laptop to show some cool stuff". That's awesome. They don't have to be a developer.
