[LRUG] 24 Pull Requests

[Andrew Nesbitt]

I've have been working on a little project to promote open source collaboration during december, it's called 24 Pull Requests.

The idea is basically "Send a pull request every day in december leading up to Christmas", in the form of a webpage and a twitter account encouraging developers to give back to open source with little gifts of code throughout december.

The site also provides suggested projects to help with, guides for contributing and highlight good pull requests submitted each day.

As an extra trying to encourage tech companies to donate an hour a day per dev during december for those who want it to work on pull requests and highlighting those companies on the site, could be a great bit of promotion for them as good employers to work for.

The site development is open source on github: https://github.com/andrew/24pullrequests and online at http://24pullrequests.com

If you'd like to get involved or have feedback then ping me, open some issues on github or submit your favourite open source projects to the suggested list: http://24pullrequests.com/projects

Cheers
Andrew
