hey, @Tlazypanda Thanks so much for making this check-in!!

I was exploring CP, development where I came to know about open source. I made my first contribution a few days ago. Last week I set up the project on my local machine, going through the codebase is a little overwhelming, but looking forward to learn and contribute.

Hi @om2137, Welcome to Publiclab. You can comment here #9899 to get you name added in the list and you will be assigned a first timers issue when it comes.

[Ash-KODES]

@Tlazypanda I am looking forward to contribute:),but it is not the first time i am contributing to publiclab can i still comment on #9899 thread?

[jywarren]

Hi @Ash-KODES if it's not your first time, would you consider helping someone else complete their own, who may be stuck or need encouragement? Or, would you be interested in creating a first-timers-only issue yourself, for someone else? Thank you!!!!

[DalilaBA]

Hey @Tlazypanda , hi everyone, I'm an engineer in computer science, I'm freshly new to contributing and github, I feel sometimes overwhelmed with all the functionalities and the workflow, but I'm doing my best to understand each step ✌️ , I'm also new with ruby on rails, I'm following an awesome course abt it, I've had some exp with PHP and Laravel.
I like the energy shared in this community, it motivates me to do more each time, I'm really happy to be part of this 😄

[jywarren]

Hi all, for Outreachy applicants, we first like to get to know you a bit in the weekly check-ins, and to help you try a first timers only issue, from https://code.publiclab.org. We're really interested in helping folks make their first steps and get oriented, especially newcomers. Thanks for showing up and for your interest in our community and project!

[jywarren]

@DalilaBA feeling overwhelmed is totally understandable, and our codebase is a bit old and complex -- not a freshly written nice tidy thing! But we're here to help out. You don't need to understand the whole thing to make really helpful contributions. We strive to put as much context as you need into each well-prepared issue! Welcome!!

[Ash-KODES]

Hi @Ash-KODES if it's not your first time, would you consider helping someone else complete their own, who may be stuck or need encouragement? Or, would you be interested in creating a first-timers-only issue yourself, for someone else? Thank you!!!!

Hi everyone, I don't know where to reach out really for help, I've had this error while executing "passenger start", everything went well during the installation I think, so can anyone help me on this ?
