Hey everyone! :wave:

I’m excited to participate in Hacktoberfest 2024 and I’m looking forward to making contributions to some open-source projects this year. Specifically, I would love to contribute to Elixir/Phoenix projects.

If anyone knows of any open-source repositories in the Elixir community that could use contributions, I’d really appreciate your recommendations! I’m especially interested in backend-related tasks, but I’m open to any kind of work that helps the community.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with some of you this month! :rocket:

would be awesome if someone could look into testcontainers for elixir and see if there is any room for improvement there :smiley: Its completely open source MIT licensed project. And its gotten quite usable in the last month. However, i would like to redo the way it calls out to docker, especially removing the autogenerated docker api engine and implementing specific api code inside testcontainers for elixir, since its so generic and rest based, there is no need to use thousands of lines of autogenerated code when we only use three or four endpoints in docker engine api.

Ref Remove docker engine api dependency and create a small and custom api · Issue #132 · testcontainers/testcontainers-elixir · GitHub

If no one else does it i will do it myself mid October :wink: But not for hacktoberfest :wink:

Not sure if I will be able to understand the codebase right away, but I will definitely give it a try. If you have any guidance on where to start in, that will be helpful.

I am not the maintainer, but I think Salad zu could get some additional ui components.

I am not very good at ui, but appreciate your suggestion. Maybe someone else might use this post to do some contribution. Thanks!

Ash Framework is always open for contributions :slight_smile: https://ash-hq.org

Sure, I will try to look into this. But, I guess I would have to learn Ash framework before trying to contributing. Thanks :+1:

Yes, almost certainly :slight_smile:

Got it, Thanks. I will try to learn over the weekends.

Keep in mind that if you’re relatively new to Elixir it may not be the best starting point :slight_smile:

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve been working with Elixir since March, primarily focusing on building backend servers using Phoenix.

Do you think this experience will be sufficient to grasp what’s going on?

17

Probably, yes :slight_smile: Depending on how much time you have to contribute, learning Ash and contributing would then take extra time compared to contributing directly to something you’re already familiar with. Not to discourage you at all, just want to make sure you get what you’re looking for in terms of experience :smiley:

I understand. Given my current job and the learning curve for Ash, it might not be the best time for me to contribute to it during Hacktoberfest. However, I will plan to learn Ash in the coming months.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this; I truly appreciate it.

I was hoping to find some Phoenix or Elixir-based projects to contribute to, so I’ll continue searching. Thanks again! :blush:
