[scikit-image] Re: Contributing to Scikit-Image and Mentorship

Hi again Brandon, No worries: You've got to start somewhere, right? Have you browsed through our 'good first issues' (https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+l... Which one(s) would you like to tackle? Otherwise, would you like to contribute a small demo to the gallery (https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/)? Maybe you could recreate a microscopy application, even as a toy example version? Cheers, Marianne On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 7:57 PM BRANDON READ wrote:

Hello Marianne,

My handle is 'beeread'; however, I haven't made any personal projects. You probably won't find much, if anything, on my profile.

The scripting work I've done for my company is small-scale and has never surpassed 1000 lines of code. The largest project I worked on involved using OpenCV to do basic image processing on our electron microscope micrographs. I cannot legally share any of this work.

These disappointing facts motivate my outreach - I'd like to start developing a public portfolio of projects that I can eventually showcase to apply to jobs such as (https://www.gene.com/careers/detail/202104-110437/cryoEM-Senior-Scientific-R...).

Thank you for your consideration, Brandon Read

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for your interest! What's your GitHub handle, please? Alternatively, do you have a company or personal web page showcasing your current or past projects?

Thank you, Marianne

Hi all,

I'm interested in contributing to scikit-image but I am new to scientific programming. I studied physics in undergrad and have a minor in bioinformatics. As a result, I'm familiar with oop, data structures, and algorithms. I'd like some mentorship to get started on actually developing / contributing code. I'm interested in image processing for structural biology applications, and sometimes in my spare time I write scripts for my current company. However, it is not production-grade, and it is quite hacky. I'm hoping that through contributing to scikit-image, in whatever way possible, I can gain some skills and give back in parallel.

According to the scikit-image website, mentoring is available and it seems like contributing to open source is encouraged. Would anyone be interested in mentoring me?
