Welcome to the Repository of Opportunity Octopus

About the Project

It is a very simple web application built with Django and Python. It offers a compilation of various kinds of opportunities aimed at university students, for example: hackathons, scholarship, and competitions. This open source project is aimed at beginner software engineers who are starting their journey of contributing to open source GitHub projects.

Instructions on Running the Project

The project is currently being deployed via an AWS server here (Sorry it's down currently. I'm sorting out my AWS bills and my student account😭).

If you want to run it locally, the easiest way is via Docker. Set up Docker on your local machine (Docker Desktop for Windows). Then from the project's directory, open a terminal and run "sudo docker compose up" without the quotations.

Instructions for Contributors

If you want to contribute, you can create a new branch and work on any of the issues given. You can even independently browse through the code and suggest improvements. You can contribute to creating features, updating features, organizing the code, commenting and documentation etc.

You can even contribute by becoming a volunteer and adding new opportunity information on the site. You can also share any opportunity news you may have directly to me or a volunteer you know to have it added to the site.

If you have any questions about it, you can email me directly. You can find the email address in the next section.

Getting in Touch

If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions about the project or want to buy me a glass of mango juice: you can email me at siam@graduate.utm.my. Happy coding!
