Hey @Yogendra-Bisht, Thanks for the PR! We appreciate your contribution. ✨ However, we don't see any issue created for these changes and if we ever had any discussion about this. Please read our Contributing guidelines carefully before you're contributing. As our courses are about open source, I think it makes a general idea that they're also open source. We also have link on the website to our repo, where folks are welcomed with README that consists "Contributing" section if they'd like to contribute to our repo. I feel like our contributing guidelines are clearer — it's also include how to install this project, how to work with the contents, how to work with issues and PRs in the repo, etc. General instructions/guidelines to contribute to OSS projects across GitHub are also well written in the Intro to OSS course, if folks really follow the course from start to finish. So, I don't think we really need to have a brand new page and card. I'd like to know @BekahHW thoughts about this so we might get back to this once she returns. In the meantime, I'm closing this PR as there's no issue accompanying this PR. Can you please create an issue and elaborate the background of why you propose these changes to convince us otherwise? We might reopen it if we have second thoughts or if you can convince us. Thank you! |

Thank you for the detailed feedback, @adiati98! This is actually my very first open-source Pull Request, so experiencing this workflow firsthand has taught me a lot more than just reading the documentation ever could. I completely understand the importance of discussing features beforehand to prevent scope creep. To align with the proper process, I have opened an issue here: #317 to outline the "experiential learning" background behind this proposal. I look forward to hearing your and @BekahHW's thoughts whenever she is back! Appreciate your patience and guidance with a first-time contributor. |

Description
This PR adds a meta-contribution feature to help users understand that the course platform itself is an open source project. It creates awareness and provides a structured pathway for learners to contribute back to the project.
Problem Statement
Currently, the course teaches about open source contribution but doesn't make it obvious that the platform itself is open source and welcomes contributions. This is a missed opportunity for experiential learning.
