ODHack: 1st edition

Welcome to the very first edition of the ODHack where 100K grants ($, OP & STRK) will be distributed! We are excited to start this out 🔥.

We've all been there—sifting through countless repositories, searching for open issues that match our skill sets. It's time-consuming and, honestly, a bit disheartening.

But worry no more!

Starting today (15 Feb) and for the next 10 days, you will get the opportunity to contribute to a selected few projects that have a selection of issues ready for grabs!

The goal of ODHack is to connect you with amazing projects who need your contributions and in return, reward you for a job-well done.

So don't miss out, it starts NOW.

How it works:

• First, sign up on OnlyDust (if you haven't yet done so). This is important, because all potential rewards for your contribution goes through here.
• Second, get familiar with the selected projects and look at their issues. Below, you'll find brief overviews of each project, alongside links to their repositories filled with "ODHack" tagged issues.

• Third, start contributing. And if your work is eligible, you'll get rewarded.
• That's it!

❤️ A huge, huge thank you to the project leads and the dev teams that have been SO supportive in getting this ball rolling!

Ready to tackle these challenges? It's first come, first served—so go, go, go!

But wait - there's more - Sign up below to claim your exclusive ODHack merch 😉.

Note: there are some issues that are not tagged ODHack in here, but feel free to also tackle them! The issues below (which you will find in the repo) were specifically made for beginners:

• Refactor loops in Orion: Now that Orion supports Cairo 2.5.x, we should refactor loops in Orion with while loops when necessary, otherwise make sure the array looping is implemented in an idiomatic way.
• Implement MaxPool operator: Now that Orion supports Conv, the MaxPool operator is missing to create a CNN.
• TreeEnsemble: TreeEnsembleClassifier and TreeEnsembleRegressor are deprecated in ONNX. Replace them with the TreeEnsemble operator.
• Implement the Normalizer operator
• Implement the LabelEncoder operator
