###Learn Programming Mentoring Community

The LPMC aims to be a group of projects and individuals with the specific intent of teaching contributors how to contribute to open source. By providing projects and tutorials with the express intent of mentoring and teaching, we hope to provide a 'safe' place, free from outright rejection and ridicule, where a new FOSS (Free Open Source Software) contributor can experiment, learn, and -- ultimately -- contribute to real, usable FOSS projects.

The LPMC hopes to, in effect, provide a service -- teaching it's members how to do things 'The Right Way'(tm) with everything from crafting a good Pull Request to ensuring code is properly tested, documented, and -- crucially, well written.

To do this, the LPMC aims to provide high quality tutorials, discussion arenas (including IRC and this subreddit); as well as 'hackable' projects for new contributors to work on. It's core promise is that every pull request rejected is rejected with a clear reason, and where appropriate, suggestions on how to make that request better.
