Are there some stipendary cool projects available to be worked on, which has some kind of mentorship and I will get a liberty of working on it on only weekends? It will provide me following:
actually open source does not work this way. Here we look for projects we are interested in and work for free. The best way is to look around for projects in your field of expertise and try out one or two. If you mention your field of interest we can help you by suggesting projects.
- Learning with all the possible trial and error and experiments by
playing around with it.
- A platform to go into the technological world one-level up.
- A leverage added into the profile.
- Justified credibility for the work that would be delivered in the
form of stipend.
the first three points will work - credibility will attach to you when you get commit rights to some project. Believe me, commit rights is the passport to your future.
