Add more links on the resources page

[tfidfwastaken]

The resources page here is lacking in links, thanks to the laziness of yours truly. We want you to add more high quality articles and resources on Open Source culture and contributing to Open Source.

How to help out

The website uses Jekyll, which is a static website generator, which basically reads markdown files and generates webpages from them.

You do not need to know all the implementation details, but what you need to know is that the resources page is generated from the file index.md from the resources directory.

Those of you familiar with git, you can fork the repo, add some links in index.md, push your changes back to your fork and open a PR over here.

Those unfamiliar with git, you can just do it from within github. The procedure is very much the same as what you did to join PESOS. You fork the repo, edit resources/index.md and then send out a Pull Request.

Before you contribute

Don't open a PR right away. First propose the link you want to add here, we'll discuss and approve it, then you can work on your PR.

Make sure the articles you are sharing are related to Open Source. When in doubt, just propose your link here and we'll figure out if it is the right fit.

This website suggests parts to contribute to Mozilla's Open Source projects (Mainly Firefox), based on the programming language you choose.
https://codetribute.mozilla.org
This website also does almost the same thing but shows currently open bugs/issues and features to work on (and takes you to the appropriate GitHub link).

@Trivikram-B I suppose that link is very technical and is basically documentation. Given the state of our community, we'd appreciate something with a more beginner-friendly vibe.
Here are the kind of articles that I found to be a good fit:
Example 1
Example 2

@Samyak2
Great resources. Please send a PR for the same.
You can refer to this as an example of a successfully done PR.

Sorry for opening a PR without posting stuff here. I didn't read the "before you contribute".

These are a few things that I think are beginner-friendly.

These are a few resources from my bookmarks which helped me immensely and some which seem interesting and useful, hope they do the same for others. Mostly beginner-to-journeyman level stuff.

Will open a PR if the resources are approved.

• Never tried Linux because you were intimidated by its installation process and/or intimidated by its various flavours (called distros)? Well this site can be used to test drive Linux distros online, without ever installing them!
  https://distrotest.net

• Try to learn to use the Linux command line, but you find the documentation (man pages) way too verbose and noob-unfriendly? An open source project was created to ease this process.
  P.S.: You can contribute to this project easily as a newbie, as it is about documentation for newbies.

• Interested to deepen your Linux knowledge? Here is a comprehensive course.
  (I swear this whole thing isn't just about Linux)

• As most of us know Python, here are some resources which will broaden your knowledge of it and help you find interesting use cases for it in any open source project (Automation, Scraping, Communication etc.)

• Open source doesn't restrict itself to software, but extends to hardware as well.

@sankethchebbi Looks good!

I'd say based on what usually is asked in the community, and the kind of content that I feel works well, I'll ask you to open a PR for adding three of the articles you have shared, that is, link number 3, 5 and 6.

Feel free to share the other ones on Slack!

Hello, is this issue still open? If so, could you please reopen it or create a new issue and close this one? Since it has spanned over three years, it would be helpful to clarify what remains to be addressed, and I would like to see if I can assist with it.
