How to use open source to build a resume

[adiati98]

Hi Friends,

@dominicduffin1 and I are working on updating our Open Source Resources page on the website.

It's not a secret that contributing to open sources can help devs to build their resume and even lead them to their job.
So, we want to have a section about how to use open source to build a resume.

If you have any experience yourself or know any good resources in using open source to build a resume, we would love to hear about them!

Please drop them in the discussion here.

Thank you in advance! 😄
