I am Sungmin Cho, or you can just call me Sam. This will be my first step as an open source contributor and I really look forward to learning more about this process. I am currently getting started with the “Writing your first patch for Django”. I would also appreciate any advice on other places I could get more resources on getting started.
I hope this is the right place to post this because I did not really know where to say. Would this be a good place to contact the mentors in the future for advice and questions? If not, please let me know if there is a discord channel or IRC. Thank you!
Yes, this is one of the places where you can ask questions.
If you’ve read everything at and linked from Contributing to Django | Django documentation | Django then you’re off to a good start. There are people here who can (and will) help with specific questions or issues you may encounter.
About issues I may encounter, could I get some help with this? I am trying to install the cloned copy of Django in my Python virtual environment but I am getting this error: "ERROR: Package ‘django’ requires a different Python: 3.9.6 not in ‘>=3.10’ ".
I am on MacBook Air M2 and have Python 3.9.6 installed. Here’s an image of it as well:
