Open Source Projects: prepare an issue and add it to the list

Please help us make our Welcome to Open Source on April 2nd a blast. Prepare issues and welcome new open source contributors to our community.

For every issue you create, please send a pull request that adds a link to the Prepared Open Source Issues section in our README.

Here is a blog post with more background information:
http://hood.ie/blog/a-new-kind-of-open-source-event.html

In a nutshell, create issue like this one. Put this on top of the issue description:

![welcome-to-open-source-atlanta](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/welcome-to-open-source/Atlanta/master/assets/banner.png)

**This issue is reserved for participants of [Welcome to Open Source, Atlanta](http://www.meetup.com/Jr-Dev-Mentoring/events/228951389/)**.

If your issues are still available after April 2nd, you can remove the banner and our friends at @YourFirstPR will promote the nice issues to the broader open source community

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask :)

Participants, add yourself to the list :)

There are two ways how you can send a pull request:

1. The simple way: use GitHub.com only
2. The traditional way: requires git and a terminal

There is also the possibility to use GitHub Desktop, but I never tried it myself.

The simple way: use GitHub.com only

1. Open the README.md
2. Click the pen icon on top right
   
3. Add yourself to the list of participants.
4. Add the bottom below "Propose file change" add "Added {your name here} as participant" to the first input
5. Hit the Propose File Change Button
6. On the next page, hit the Create pull request Button.

That’s it. You started a pull request :) We will review and merge it.

The traditional way

Instead of me explaining, I recommend the fantastic How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub tutorial.

Either way, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
