Yesterday I made my first (small!) contribution to another project (repository). Blackened Systems is building a website/system platform in Scala and MongoDB and I’ve decided to pitch in to learn these technologies. This morning my “pull request” was accepted and merged into “blackened-parent”. (https://github.com/blackenedsystems/blackened-parent/pull/1)

So far my impression of GitHub is that it feels like it can really make it fun to contribute to other projects!
