# Open Source - Where to start?
|
|
|
|
I have been using open source since college, studying Computer Science, and I have released a number of projects over at [Github](http://github.com/ayoayco). But up until now, I have not contributed in any other open source project (except maybe that one time in college where we were required to do so...)
|
|
|
|
In this note I will document my journey into contributing to the open source community.

Here is a list of communities/places/actions I have found over the web where I get my interest in open source all fired up.
|

2. [Github Trending](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rubik.github) - To browse through interesting repositories in Github.
|
|
3. [Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com) - To see what other developers are confused about... and sometimes to answer questions.
|
|
4. Open an account at [Github](https://github.com).
