Welcome! This repo is your onboarding workspace. You'll practice real skills, apply team principles, and earn verifiable attestations for your work.
core team members: this is the Onboarding repo for interns ; here is the onboarding project for planning
- Choose your track: General (non-technical) or Developer
- Read the required materials (linked in your track)
- Create issues for yourself using the numbered templates in the Issues tab
- Complete tasks by following the clues and figuring things out
- Get peer reviews - teammates will review your work
- Earn attestations - published certificates on LinkedTrust
This onboarding teaches you to:
- Hunt, don't wait - use clues to figure things out
- Work in public - share early, seek critique
- Leave breadcrumbs - document for the next person
- Own your work - if you promise it, deliver it or communicate early
- Review critically, and seek critical review - "looks good" isn't helpful
- Go to the Issues tab
- Click "New Issue"
- Choose your first task template (start with [001] or [101] depending on your track)
- Fill it out and assign it to yourself
- Complete the task
- Comment on the issue with your evidence
- Close it when done

- ✅ At least 1 real contribution to a team project
- ✅ Published certificate on linkedtrust.us

Figure things out. Ask good questions. Leave things better than you found them.
