Ever wonder how to actually get started with open source? Now’s your chance! Let OpenSauced help you start your journey.

We're happy to share that OpenSauced is now a part of the Student Developer Pack! OpenSauced is a platform that helps you track and showcase your open source contributions, making it easier to get noticed by potential employers and collaborators.

As a special benefit to GitHub Education Learners, OpenSauced is offering free Workspaces, which means students can track repositories, contributors and maintainers, and their own work in one space. You can think of your profile as your current open source resume. You'll also have access to our latest courses.

To get started, set up your OpenSauced account, and then take a look at the OpenSauced Student Guide with all of the resources you need to get started. Want to really dive into the world of open source? You can do so by starting their Intro to Open Source course with tips, tools and great ways to make your first contributions or build on your existing portfolio.

I wish GitHub would include Open Source Contributor Developer Pack as well. Fingers-crossed.

What does open sourced mean?

[pizofreude]

@victoriahello in essence it basically means anything that is publicly accessible, modifiable, and redistributable. Of course, the specifics depend on its adopted open source licenses. Public domain uses CC0 license and my favorite for the majority of my open-source projects is Apache 2.0 license.
