For projects that involve opening PRs with existing OSS

It’s usually best for your students to pick their next task as a team:

• Assign all students to individually find 2-3 issues they might like to work on.
  • For each of these issues, students should also identify potential starting points.
  • We RECOMMEND the issues be in the same repository. Employers tend to view this more positively, plus it’s much easier to get started because they’ve already gotten the dev environment set up. (It’s not required, however.)
• At the next meeting, review the proposals and decide as a team which issue you will tackle. (Or if students prefer, they could work independently.)

We can also find an issue for you, if you’d like. Email us, post in the mentors channel on Slack, or have your students post in #help-desk to request this.
