New Blog Post: Essential Tips For New Open-Source Maintainers

Gm Societoors, we released the latest blog post covering the important topic of open-source maintainer best practice. While the word open-source gets thrown around a lot, upon closer examination, differing practices lead to inconsistent documentation and work. Check out the blog post here and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them in the comments section of the following secret gist: https://gist.github.com/sobolevn/a266c4dece16e23ab588411e997c7ff0

Big thanks to Nikita Sobolev for the contribution and this wonderful guide.

We are also pleased to announce that TON will be participating in Hacktoberfest 2022, which is a month-long celebration of open source projects, their maintainers, and the entire community of contributors. Each October, open source maintainers give new contributors extra attention as they guide developers through their first pull requests on GitHub. For any questions, please do not hesitate to drop us a note.

Happy open-sourcing!
πŸ€“ Grants Announcements: Jul/Aug Recipients

Gm Societooors, the Jul/Aug grants recipients have been announced and posted via GitHub Discussions! Please see therein for additional details about the project and the team.

Congratulations to the below teams on their new (and for some, continued) plan to better the TON ecosystem via open-source efforts:

- TON Factory team and their TON Stash product, wallet for devs (milestone 1)
- Open Mask builder and his efforts to build a comprehensive extension wallet (milestone 1)
- dBuilder (rebranded to Rift) and continued efforts to bridge python client with FunC (milestone 2)
- Tonana team and continued efforts to expand on connectors between TON and other ecosystems (milestone 2)
- TON mobile explorer and the continued efforts to enable additional features for a mobile friendly explorer user experience (milestone 2)

Note that teams who have previously received grants for milestone 1 are in active developments to get to milestone 2. As always, we appreciate the community's patience with announcements, updates, and responses to GitHub open questions. We are working hard to get back to you in a timely manner and actionable steps so that you are encouraged to keep building on TON. Please note that all rejection notification have been sent - if you have not yet heard from us, it is likely that we are still corresponding with you re: your application or the application did not include a contact information.

Also a friendly reminder that we have added a Support Ticket system whereby one can ask an open-question about how to best optimize new (or previously submitted) applications to maximize the chances to garnering a grant. Please find the system here: https://github.com/ton-society/grants-program/issues/new/choose

In the coming weeks, we are looking forward to further presenting the team to the Society.

Good day, everyone!

Last, but not least lecture in the series of workshops during the Hack-a-TONx Prague preparation will focus on a template for a project that one may use for creating a TWA connected to TON.

The speaker for today is Shahar Yakir, jetton.live creator at Orbs. Shahar is a great technical expert of TON, he writes frontend, backend, and smart contracts.

Today on the stream Shahar will revolve around using the template and modifying the GitHub repo, that he has prepared for the community. It allows participants to fork it to add their own functionality, connect wallets and etc.

After the workshop one may do a basic operation against TON, f.e. transfer TON, work with Jettons and more πŸ™Œ
