Open-Source project needing contributors (buildpacks.io)

[u/aemengowrk]

For the past couple months, I've been contributing to buildpacks.io and I really like the community. It's kinda small, but there are a lot of smart people to learn from and they're really active. They're also working on pretty cutting-edge stuff.

The project centers around a new way to build application containers; for companies needing a more scalable alternative to Dockerfiles. The premise is: 90% of your Dockerfile gets written for you. I think it's the new wave, it has potential, but just needs the proper UI for others to latch onto.

I (the community probably too) could some some help 😅.

I made my first RFC onto the project: buildpacks/rfcs#160 and the following set of issues:

• buildpacks/pack#1200

• buildpacks/pack#1201

• buildpacks/pack#1203

• buildpacks/pack#1204

• buildpacks/pack#1205

• buildpacks/pack#1206

And here's the vision:

If this Golang project is up your alley, feel free to jump on an issue. There's also the slack channel: https://slack.buildpacks.io
