Would love to join the organization

[palash25]

Hi there, I would love to be a member of this organization. Although I'm not a coursera mentor, I have been programming for quite a while now and have experience with backend and open source development. I mostly write Python, Go, Javascript and occasionally some Haskell.

I've also worked as an API developer for cloudyBOSS and I am currently working as an open source developer for coala on their Nextgen Core and working on improving the cache performance.

I can help guide newcomers in contributing to this org and reviewing their code.

Here are my profiles: Github, LinkedIn and Twitter

Also would love to join this organization as well. I've been a Coursera Community Mentor of R Programming for over one year but I have no idea about this organization until now. Are we having plans for developing or organizing helpful learning resources? As I know, many mentors have their own repositories for gathering helpful articles written by themselves.

@corytu It would be great if you can help in scaling this organization.
Please, let other mentors know to share helpful articles written by themselves.

@palash25 that's great in order to scale the organization we need help.
So, it's geat you are willing to help us in newcomers guide.

@divyanshu-rawat What do you think about the purpose of this organization? Courses and mentors may already have their own running GitHub repositories or specialization-based discussion forums outside of Coursera.

What we might be able to try from my perspective:

1. Being a hub of all helpful learning resources, or
2. Building another app, connected with Coursera, providing users helpful information based the courses they enrolled. (I know this one sounds crazy and will be huge work.)

Then we can probably split members in this organization into teams, based on categories of profession, e.g. data science, social science, life science..., and start from there.

@corytu ya do agree with the wonderful idea you have.
Let me know how we can proceed this.
