Make an OSS contribution to VS Code or a VS Code Extension

Check out the good first issues on the actual VS Code repo itself, the Python or Jupyter extensions, or on one of your other favorite extension!

Try your hand at making a VS Code Extension

Maybe there is a feature or tool you wish your VS Code setup would have, now is the time to try! Normally the extensions are in Typescript, but there is a cool template that allows you to use Python to build extensions. There is also a great docs page covering the API VS Code exposes for the Python language server. It doesn’t have to be super fancy, but see if you can get a demo extension file to share with someone else to try.

• VSCode extension in 60 seconds

• Building extensions for vscode.dev

Containerize your favorite project

Having infrastructure and tools to make OSS projects more reproducible is quite helpful, so let’s try and put some more code back in boxes :P Take a repo that is missing things like Dockerfiles, Devcontainers, or packaging actions and PR them!
