Casey M's Pitches

Pitch #1:

Contributing to DC Abortion Fund

  • Why: Being able to be a programmer and an activist at the same time is important to me, and I feel like this project is an opportunity to do so. The leader of the project was a field organizer like myself, who decided to become a programmer.
  • What: Colin is going to send me a feature to start working on next week, but in the mean time I have asked him about some open issues that are bug and text fixes that are still open but people have done some work on.
  • I Need: to keep communicating with Colin and keep an eye out to see if any of the issues I commented on are things I can help with
  • When I'm Done: I will submit a PR! This is a project I'd like to continue to contributing to because of how easy it is for beginners to contribute.

Pitch #2: Faker Gem

  • Why: Faker has been a really helpful gem when it comes to seeding data, or generating test data.
  • What: Refactoring and documentation changes. It seems like issues are completed pretty quickly, so I would have an easier job contributing by finding somethng to fix or update myself.
  • I Need: familiarize myself with their code base after forking the project and running the test
  • When I'm Done: I will hve contributed to one of my favorite gems!
