Excited to share that I've joined (Open Source Software Contribution Academy) as a mentor for the @fedifyFedify: an ActivityPub server framework project!

OSSCA is a national program run by South Korea's NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) through their Open Source Software Support Center, aimed at fostering the next generation of open source contributors.

We're currently in the process of selecting around 20 mentees who will start contributing to once the selection is complete. I've been busy preparing good first issues to help them get started on their open source journey.

Looking forward to working with these new contributors and seeing what amazing things we can build together!

And just finished writing a comprehensive contributor guide for the mentees!

You can check it out here—it's Korean though: https://hackers.pub/@hongminhee/2025/ossca-fedify-contributors-guide.

It covers everything from setting up the accounts and development environment to finding good first issues. While it's primarily for the OSSCA participants, anyone interested in contributing to @fedifyFedify: an ActivityPub server framework is welcome to use it as a reference.

Ready to onboard the next wave of developers!
