@balajik10 Contributing to a open source project is a great opportunity to learn!
I will try to explain it to you:
So, on the ecosystem page there's a list with all projects sponsored by the FOSS fund. Some projects are missing (see issue text above). Every project is in a own file in the _fossfund folder.
Just follow the existing items to create new ones or update the ones that are already there.
Images of the projects are saved here: https://github.com/microsoft/opensource.microsoft.com/tree/main/assets/images/fossfund
I hope this helps to start. Please don't hesitate to ask further questions.
Thanks again!
Thank you for responding , now I have locked and cloned the issue in my desktop. what should I do next ? does C-language help me in this issue in any manner or should I want to learn any other language.
Thanks again!
Sorry sir if I am troubling you a lot . this is my first time for GitHub stuff and it will be really helpful if you will guide me on the first issue.
No. This project doesn't use C as a programming language. The files in the linked fossfund folder are all written in front matter.

You're not troubling at all. I'm here to help you. Is what I wrote in the comment clear or not? If not I will try to specify it.
sorry , I am not clear about it.
sorry , I am not clear about it.
Ok. Let's go through this step by step. Afterwards please point out the steps that aren't clear for you.
- This issue is about the following page: https://opensource.microsoft.com/ecosystem/ . On this page there are several projects sponsered by the FOSS fund.

-
Every single one of these entries are one file in the folder called:
_fossfund: https://github.com/microsoft/opensource.microsoft.com/tree/main/_fossfund -
Some of them are outdated or are missing information. These ones are listed on the top of this issue.
-
The files are all structured like this:
---
title: <name of the project>
logo: <name of the logo image>
projectUrl: <url of the project>
linkText: "<text of the link>"
description: "<description of the project>"
processing: "<award process>"
context: "<why project was awarded>"
awarded: true
fund: "FOSS Fund #<number>"
---
You just have to replace the things in the <> brackets. I think when you look at the existing files you get how they are structured.
- The current information can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/foss-fund
I hope this made it a bit clearer. If not please point out the numbers you didn't understand.
Hi thank you for explaining me in depth, it helped a lot. I have updated the files and do a pull request, now they are saying to sign the CLA. Can you please explain me what is CLA before I sign in.
