🔥 Inspiration !

The need to rise of awareness of Open Source Contribution made us to bring together some of the best resources at a single platform for a beginner in order to get started with their Open Source Journey. Our main inspiration came from the amazing and most welcoming opensource communities i.e Community classroom , Eddie hub , CNCF, DOK community and others , and their pure motive to help and support the community , without demanding anything from the individual.

🤩What it does ?

Open Source Buddy will help every individual to explore Open Source World and guide them to kick-start their journey. This project provides all the necessary materials and resources and proper roadmap with the correct guidance. It also connects the users to other welcoming Open Source communities and popular Open Source programs.

🤔How we built it?

Open Source Buddy couldn't have been possible without Docker, Civo, CNCF, Kubernates and lens IDE. HTML, CSS, Javascript and Bootstrap helped us to make this super fast responsive website with all required resources and attractive features!

😉Challenges we ran into?

We faced many errors after deploying the website like the 502 error and also Bad Gateway error, then we later on realized that there were minor mistakes in our deployment yaml and ingress yaml files. We were successful in resolving them after seeking help from the community and twitter. After we successfully deployed the demo project, then we got an error while deploying the main project. We realised that there was a bug in github, which we then resolved.

😎Accomplishments that we're proud of !

This being the first hackathon for some of us, implementing our idea in such a short span of time through strong dedication is what we are most proud of. We are proud of the fact that we could successfully complete our project without any glitches and make it super fast and responsive.

⚙️What we learned?

First, we learned how to create a Docker images, then we learned how to make cluster using civo kubernetes. After installing Lens IDE we learnt to generate YAML files from the IDE by adding clusters and also were able to monitor our cluster's performance by built in promenthius tool inside the IDE. On the non-technical front, we learnt a lot of important things like leadership, team coordination and patience.

😀What's next for Open Source Buddy?

As contributing to the Open Source is little harder for Beginners, we will try to make Open Source Buddy more user-friendly and include more resources in an organised way for Open Source Contribution.
