Contributor journey

Lucas

• Where to point new comers to start their Magma contributor journey: https://github.com/magma/magma/issues/13163

  • Issue is fixed

  • Is there anything else we could/should do to improve the experience for newcomers?

    • Initial barrier is to deploy and have a trial with the project

      • Magma needs HW resources to work

        • Inexpensive WiFi routers, etc could lower the HW cost for a trial

      • You need a lab to start valuable work and activities

        • Universities and companies (telco and wider scope) are the entities who have the ability to use the project and get involved

    • Agreement within the group: Our target audience is contributors who are working for a company or an organization with a strategic interest  in the project

    • Next steps

      • Companies and people will probably be interested in the project's roadmap first to decide if it is in scope for them and whether or not they would like to invest time and resources into evaluating and potentially using the project

        • ie: 5G related items

      • Keep monitoring the evolution of the project to identify areas that could be covered and highlighted on the project's blog and in the documentation to help people and organizations to get started easier

      • Does the area/feature contributors are working on affect the contributor experience?

        • ie: some areas require more equipment than others, which can make deployment and trial easier; carrier WiFi, 4G/5G, etc
