  "textContent": "A few months ago I tweeted out an open invitation for anyone new to contributing to open source.\n\n> If you're new to contributing to open source or @nuxt_js [https://twitter.com/nuxt_js], and want to, let me know. I'd be really happy to have an informal chat, pre-PR review, etc. ❤️\n> \n> — source [https://twitter.com/danielcroe/status/1630239320375463937]\n\nWhen people messaged me, I sent through a link so they could book a short call at a time that worked for them.\n\nI was honestly astounded at how many people wanted to chat. People I had never met or encountered. And even people I 'knew' from online. Some wanted to contribute but were entirely new to open source. Some had ideas they wanted the chance to implement. A couple wanted me to 'pitch' Nuxt to them.\n\n\nWHAT I LEARNED\n\n 1. I had mixed feelings that so many people wanted to talk - at first. Seeing virtually every free day I had be booked for the next month was a little daunting.\n\n 2. Looking back at those calls, I don't regret a single one. A number of people I'd now consider valuable contributors to Nuxt messaged me - and we had a chance to talk for the first time. And I think there were plenty of folk who would be assets to any project.\n\n 3. I've summarised a few thoughts [https://roe.dev/blog/contributing-to-nuxt] about contributing to Nuxt that came out of these calls.\n\n 4. I absolutely want to have an open-door policy in future.\n\n\nAN OPEN INVITATION\n\nSo here's the deal. If you want to have a 10-minute chat about anything, then I would love to talk to you.\n\nParticularly, if you want to be involved in open source and you feel you lack experience or background, please let me know. I will make time for you and I know others will too.\n\nhttps://cal.com/danielroe/intro",
