I decided a fun challenge for myself in 2012 would be to try and improve my work on open-source projects. It would allow me to continue to sharpen my skills, contribute to the developer community, and hopefully provide some badass apps to end-users. I plan on doing this two ways:
-
Create at least one open-source project a month. This could be something simple, like a convenient command-line Python script, or an Android app, or a cool Javascript tool, etc.
-
Contribute to at least 3 big existing open-source projects this year. The nature of open-source and awesome tools like git (and more specifically, GitHub) encourage and facilitate collaboration. I’d love to leave my mark on a few interesting projects.
So there it is. I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, but I suppose this is similar. And my project for January? It may be cheating but… it’s this website.
