One of the big challenges of getting involved in open source is gaining a sense of relevance: are the features you are working on actually valuable?
That is one of the main benefits of collaborating with open-source groups such as Scicloj.

If you know some Clojure and wish to become an open-source contributor or simply want to help us out, this project is for you.

16 people have applied so far, and we have started meeting and working on projects.
There is a great team of [mentors](https://github.com/scicloj/open-source-mentoring/blob/main/list-of-mentors.md).
Some resources are being collected here:
