<p>Some new folks at the Girl Develop It Pittsburgh code and coffee tonight were asking me for recommendations about open source projects to contribute to. I did not have a good answer, so I asked twitter.</p>
<p>Here are some helpful results that came up. Thanks to the people that responded! If you have some other resources or projects you think should be on the list, please comment on <a href="https://github.com/juliepagano/juliepagano.com/issues/20">this issue</a>.</p>
