Who are we? |
|
</h2> |
|
<p> |
|
We are a group of |
|
<strong> |
|
independent individuals |
|
</strong> |
|
, not tied to any organisation, with an |
|
<strong> |
|
ambition to see |
|
<code> |
|
F# |
|
</code> |
|
grow |
|
</strong> |
|
. |
|
<br> |
|
What brought us together is our aspiration to make an |
|
<strong> |
|
actual difference |
|
</strong> |
|
in the |
|
<strong> |
|
F# open-source |
|
</strong> |
|
landscape. |
|
<br> |
|
United we can take this F# ecosystem to the next level. By |
|
<strong> |
|
hand-ons collaboration |
|
</strong> |
|
and targeted efforts. |

Enter the hive |
|
</h2> |
|
<p> |
|
The world of |
|
<em> |
|
open-source software can be quite overwhelming |
|
</em> |
|
to get your feet wet in. There is a lot to learn and you might not be confident that you can contribute actually code changes. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
Just like when starting a new job, you need to learn a new codebase. |
|
<a> |

|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
And that is why we want to invoke our collective hive-mind to help people get started. |
|
We want to guide you as best as we can to scratch your own itch in the open-source space. |

What to contribute? |
|
</h2> |
|
<p> |
|
<strong> |
|
Literally anything |
|
</strong> |
|
(within reason 😸) you want |
|
<strong> |
|
to see improved |
|
</strong> |
|
in your daily |
|
<strong> |
|
F# experience |
|
</strong> |
|
. Be it a compiler feature, tooling improvement, performance increase, … |
|
There is so much work left to do in the F# eco-system and there for sure is something we can do that will rock your boat. |

Convincing your boss? |
|
</h2> |
|
<p> |
|
In practical terms, you should see this initiative as two things: |
|
<strong> |
|
educational |
|
</strong> |
|
and an attempt to improve |
|
<strong> |
|
daily productivity |
|
</strong> |
|
. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
There is a lot you can learn from pair/mob programming with seasoned F# developers from all over the world. |
|
The diversity of backgrounds can broaden your perspective and genuinely make you better at your job. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
Being able to solve outstanding problems that hinder your day-to-day flow, will reward itself over time. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
If you need more help to convince your boss, you can refer to our |
|
<a> |
|
incitation letter |
|
</a> |
|
or reach |
|
<a> |
|
out to us |
|
</a> |
|
and we would happily chime in. |

That was how I learned about the proverb \"Each one, teach one\". \nWhile having a far greater historical background and being used in a wide range of contexts, for us, it simply meant that an experienced Graffiti writer, DJ, B-Boy etc. would teach a starter how to do it. \nBeing on both ends of this relation was a given. There was no hesitation at all. To not pass on the hard-earned knowledge, was considered a no-go.\n\nBack then, open source software had a somewhat rebelious feeling to it. No question, that was where I wanted to be, when I discoverd my passion for coding. \nI made it as far as being a package maintainer for a free operating system. But beyond that, I was stuck. I wasn't making any real progress. \nEventually, I lost my drive and stopped.\n\nYears later, I entered the F# community with a reignited enthusiasm and found real mentorship. \nA few months later, I found myself being a co-maintainer of Fantomas. In my opinion, one of the most important developer tools in the ecosystem. \n_Each one, teach one_ worked for me, again. And again, I want to be on both sides of the relation.\n\n### Karma\n\nNowadays I would argue, that the Open Source model has won. But this win came with a big price tag. Paid by individuals.\nTo a certain extend, that's okay. That's how hero stories are written. And we all love those stories.\nBut every participating party in a community, be it a sole developer or a company, has to look out for a healthy and sustainable balance.\nOr Karma will collect the debt 😉\n\nInvesting some hours per week into the F# community has opened a couple of doors for me I did not imagine to ever be able to pass through. Privately and professionally.\nBeing a rather small community has it's drawbacks, no question. But it also has tremendous advantages:\n\n- You can really make a difference.\n- You can meet the people behind the code.\n- You can make friends.\n- You can learn from the best.\n- You can have an impact in your very own community.\n\nThat's why I'm part of _Amplifying F#_. \nAnd so should you.\n"],"collection":[0,"testimonials"],"data":[0,{"title":[0,"[Name Redacted]"],"preview":[0,"Each one, teach one"],"author":[0,"[Name Redacted]"],"isDraft":[0,true],"profilePicture":[0,{"src":[0,"/_astro/DavidSchaefer.CtlwJ_b5.jpg"],"width":[0,600],"height":[0,600],"format":[0,"jpg"],"fsPath":[0,"/home/runner/work/amplifying-fsharp.github.io/amplifying-fsharp.github.io/src/images/authors/DavidSchaefer.jpg"]}]}],"render":[0,null]}],[0,{"id":[0,"EdgarGonzalez.md"],"slug":[0,"edgar-gonzalez"],"body":[0,"\n## My journey from a soldier to an F# OSS contributor\n\nI was a soldier for 11 years as part of the Spanish special forces, but due to a life-changing [accident](https://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1887-85712014000400006), I decided it was a good moment in my life to switch careers.\nSo I went back to school and studied for two years to become a Mobile developer using C#. During my first job as a developer, a co-worker introduced me to F# and I fell in love with it following my curiosity I started to learn more about it.\nI realize that I was not only a new language but a new way of thinking and a new way of programming. So I deiced that was time to find a job as an F# where I could use it in my daily work.\n\n### My first job as an F# developer\n\nAfter a few months of searching, I found a job as an F# developer and I was so excited to start working with it. But I was also a little bit nervous because I was going to work with a language that I was still learning and I was afraid that I was not going to be able to do my job properly.\nBut after the initial fear, I started to feel more confident and I started to contribute to the [F#](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp) and [Fabulous](https://github.com/fabulous-dev) as we were using it in our project.\n\n### How did I get involved in the F# open source community?\n\nDuring the learning process, I notice that there were some instances where the compiler was not giving me the best error messages and I was not able to understand what was going on. So I decided to open an issue which made me ask myself, how can I help to improve the compiler error messages? So I started to look for a way to contribute to the F# compiler and I found that there were issues\nlabeled as `good-first-issues` or `help-wanted` and I decided to start with those issues. I was so happy to see that my contributions were being accepted and merged into the F# compiler. The more I contributed the more I wanted to look for more issues to solve. This leads me to be one of the [top contributors](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-fsharp-7/#edgar-gonzalez) to the F# compiler for F# 7.\nSo I was able to go from zero to almost [40 contributions](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+author%3Aedgarfgp) in no time.\n\n### What is the best thing about contributing to F#?\n\n- The best thing about contributing to F# is that you can see the impact of your work in the real world. You can see how your contributions are being used by other people and how they are helping them to solve their problems.\n- Meeting other people who are also contributing to F# and learning from them.\n- The F# community is very welcoming and friendly. I have never felt that I was not welcome or that I was not able to contribute because I was not an expert in F#.\n- Improving my skills as a developer and learning new things every day.\n\n### How you can make a difference and help F#?\n\nAre you a programmer who is using F#? Have you ever thought about how you can make a difference and help others through your work? If so, I have some good news for you. You can make a difference and help others by contributing to the F# open source community.\n\nIf I can do it, so can you. You have the opportunity to make a real impact and help others. So, if you're feeling stuck or unsure about your abilities, remember that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. With F#, you have the power to create meaningful change and help others in ways you might not even realize yet.\n\nI can attest to the rewarding feeling of giving back to the language that has brought me so much joy as a programmer.\n\nIf you're using F#, consider getting involved in the community and contributing to the language's development or any open-source project. Not only will you be helping to improve the ecosystem, but you'll also be connecting with like-minded individuals who share your passion for F# and programming. Together, we can continue to make F# an even more powerful and productive language for all who use it.\n\nAs an F# OSS contributor, I am always looking for ways to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my career.\n\nWhether you're a seasoned F# programmer or just starting, your feedback and contributions can make a difference. By sharing your ideas and suggestions, you can help shape the future of F# and make it an even more powerful and productive for everyone who uses it.\n\nAdditionally, if you're interested in contributing to F# yourself, I would be happy to help guide you through the process. As an experienced contributor, I can provide advice and support on how to get started and how to make meaningful contributions to the ecosystem.\n\nBy working together as a community, we can achieve this goal and make F# an even better language for all of us.\n\nThat's why I'm part of _Amplifying F#_. I want to help others get involved in the F# open source community and make a difference in the lives of others.\n"],"collection":[0,"testimonials"],"data":[0,{"title":[0,"Edgar Gonzalez"],"preview":[0,"I went from zero to hero in no time"],"author":[0,"Edgar Gonzalez"],"isDraft":[0,true],"profilePicture":[0,{"src":[0,"/_astro/EdgarGonzalez.D_MAOAU9.jpg"],"width":[0,3464],"height":[0,5196],"format":[0,"jpg"],"fsPath":[0,"/home/runner/work/amplifying-fsharp.github.io/amplifying-fsharp.github.io/src/images/authors/EdgarGonzalez.jpg"]}]}],"render":[0,null]}],[0,{"id":[0,"FlorianVerdonck.md"],"slug":[0,"florian-verdonck"],"body":[0,"\n## This crazy little thing called Fantomas\n\nHello there, thank you for visiting this website and reading these testimonials. \nBefore I share mine, I would like to briefly outline one little fact so that we are on the same page. For the past six years, I have been maintaining a project called [Fantomas](https://fsprojects.github.io/fantomas/).\n\n## What I got out of open source?\n\n### Getting real F# experience\n\nI began my career as a `C#` developer in a small country where `F#` was _virtually non-existent in enterprise environments_. Given the limited job prospects for F# in my area, I was hesitant to invest time in it. However, like many of us, I found that F# simply clicked for me. It was enjoyable, intuitive, and left me feeling satisfied after coding sessions.\n\nRemote job hunting was a challenging experience, especially without any real-world experience in the software stack of my choice. Fortunately, my involvement in **maintaining an open-source project**, Fantomas, proved to be a valuable asset in interviews. In some cases, it even opened doors and gave me a **competitive advantage** when **applying** for **F# positions**.\n\n### Meeting new people\n\nContributing to open-source has introduced me to _many new people_, including some great folks who share my passion for technology and with _whom I instantly connect_. Others have been **invaluable mentors**, providing guidance that has been **instrumental to my career growth**. By expanding my network in this way, I have accelerated my progress on many levels. I have discovered that geographically distant connections offer unique perspectives and opportunities that I wouldn't have had access to otherwise.\n\n### Broaden your horizon\n\nBeing an **open-source maintainer** and **contributor** has been a **tremendously enriching experience** for me. It has exposed me to a wide range of code-bases, methodologies, and human interactions. Furthermore, it has helped me _discover my interests beyond software development_. For example, I have given talks on Fantomas and found that I genuinely enjoy _public speaking_. In recent years, I have been focused on improving the _onboarding experience_ for new developers. This involves writing better documentation, restructuring code for easier comprehension, and organizing information in a more structured manner for others to benefit from. Moving forward, I aim to hone my skills in **extracting and sharing knowledge** in a more effective and accessible way.\n\n## Why community is important?\n\n### More seats at the table\n\nI firmly believe that having **more people deeply involved in a project can take it to new heights**. This has been evident with Fantomas. Recently, more individuals have gained a deeper understanding of the tool's workings. This is excellent news because the project should not revolve solely around me. While I never asked for that, it happens when there are no co-maintainers.\n\nHaving more people with profound knowledge leads to _better design conversations_ and expands the boundaries of what _one person can maintain versus what an international group_ can achieve. This significantly impacts the project's possibilities. Moreover, having more people to respond to questions, issues, and releases has been beneficial for my sanity, as it provides a second wind instead of leading to burnout.\n\nAs a contributor to a project, having more people involved is also advantageous. It is easier to identify _missing documentation when multiple individuals face the same problem_. If you are the only contributor, your initial reaction might be, \"Oh no, I'm not smart enough for this.\" Similarly, if maintainers label your issue as low-priority, it helps to have fellow contributors who disagree and provide support.\n\n### Survival of OSS\n\n**Open-source software (OSS) thrives when more people are involved** in maintaining it. I've personally experienced this with Fantomas. There were several occasions when I contemplated quitting as it was taking a toll on me. _I felt overwhelmed, used, and struggled to see the bigger picture._ These are common thoughts that many maintainers face. While some people urged me to keep going, what truly made a difference was **not having to bear the weight of the world on my own**.\n\n### There is always room for one more\n\n**Every project can benefit from any offer of help**, no matter how healthy it may seem. In the case of Fantomas, it has been working for many users for years and may appear to be well taken care of. However, there is always room for improvement and contributions are welcome. I believe that even though we have made progress, we still have much to do. So, I always _welcome the next contributor with open arms_, regardless of whether they have a specific idea in mind or not.
