| It's important to understand that the HSF organization is an umbrella organisation, that allows many different open source projects related to particle physics to participate. | ||
| So there is no single answer to this, it depends on the individual projects. | ||

| The software used in our field is typically very open, but also very specialised and often requires a reasonable level of domain knowledge to contribute to. Be mindful that when trying to contribute as a newcomer you are most likely asking for quite some time and effort of the maintainers. The maintainers who do have the time and inclination to mentor will very often come forward and propose a project idea, so if you don't know where to start, we recommend to wait and apply to an interesting project idea on the webpage. That said, all projects value quality contributions and some may have a GitHub presence with issues marked "good first issue" or a contributor's guide. Also take a look at past editions of the programme to see what projects could be interesting for you. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Maybe we should add a link to the "Projects" tab so it's easier to find the GitHub repositories corresponding to projects (those that have them)?

Hi @GlyphicGuy , no I am not aware of any projects targeting the website. It's statically generated and fairly simple, so there's not that much to do, but you can check the issues. |
