-Open Source with SLU was established to help SLU researchers with their custom software needs and to give students practical software development experience. The program is funded by a grant from Alfred P. Sloan foundation and employs Computer Science graduate students to prototype, design, and deliver open-source software to help SLU researchers and their collaborators worldwide. Undergraduate students enrolled in project-based courses work with Open Source with SLU under the mentorship of our graduate students to contribute to ongoing open source projects.

 ## SLU Research Team Leads
 
-Staff from Saint Louis University's Research Computing Group have been key partners, and have even taken on the responsibility of leading teams of undergraduate students.  Their work includes active open source projects being used in academia and research.  Projects involve SLU researchers across campus, regional organizations such as the Taylor Geospatial Institute, Washington University in Saint Louis, Newberry Library, the Jesuit Archives, Missouri Botanical Garden, and the St. Louis Federal Reserve. They are also involved in international open standards groups such as the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). This team supports the popular public tools TPEN ([t-pen.org](https://t-pen.org)) and the Rerum ecosystem ([rerum.io](https://rerum.io)).

+
 We welcome the participation of anyone interested in contributing to the projects in our portfolio. You can work on open issues on projects in our portfolio, create a new issue, or e-mail us if you want to be more involved.
 
+Join the conversation in the Open Source with SLU [Slack workspace](https://join.slack.com/t/oswslu/shared_invite/zt-24f0qhjbo-NkSfQ4LOg5wXxBdxP4vzfA).
+
+## Overview
+
+* Join our Slack workspace.
+* Contribute changes to an Open Source with SLU project.
+* Add your name to the Contributors list.
+* After making five contributions, you can be added to the `oss-slu` team in GitHub by contacting one of the program staff.
+
+## Getting Startted
+
+The success of our projects depends on active involvement. Anyone interested in getting involved with Open Source with SLU projects can sign up by opening a [Pull Request (PR)](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) on the [contributors](contributors.md) page in this website. The PR will be merged when the Pull Request includes a link to a merged ticket from a project in the [portfolio](../portfolio.md) that they made contribution to, and the PR has been approved by the current tech lead on that project.
+
+If you want to be recognized as a contributor, your pull request should include your name and a link to the work you have completed on an Open Source with SLU project.
+
+* [ ] Add your name to the list in `docs/about/contributors.md`;
+  * Each entry must include a name;
+  * Each entry may optionally include a link to a GitHub user profile;
+  * Add your entry to the end of the list.
+* [ ] Add a link to an already merged Pull Request or a closed Issue in an OSS [project](https://oss-slu.github.io/docs/portfolio) to your Pull Request. You can use the autolinked references formats for [issues and pull requests](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/autolinked-references-and-urls#issues-and-pull-requests).

 ## Guidance
+
 When you are ready to contribute code to one of our open-source project, here is the process you should follow:
+
 1. Identify the issue you want to work on and post a comment in this issue, asking the repo maintainer to assign the issue to you.
-2. Crate a fork of our repository. Here is GitHub documentation for how to <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo">create a fork</a>
-3. Clone your fork of the repository. Here is GitHub documentation for how to <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/cloning-a-repository">clone a repository</a>.

 4. Follow the developer guide to install project dependencies and run the code.
 5. Make the necessary code changes to resolve the issue. Commit and push your changes frequently. Use meaningful commit messages when committing your code.
 6. Test your changes, verifying that the issue is resolved.
-7. Create a pull request - a request to merge changes from your fork of the repository to the original repository. Here is GitHub documentation for how to <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork">create a pull request</a>.

 ## About
 
-Teams of students form the core of our efforts developing open source software. Our initial program is structured around teams of 2-4 undergraduate Computer Science students enrolled in the capstone course. Each team of undergraduate students has an assigned Tech Lead, usually a Graduate Student and sometimes a faculty or staff member. Regular project deliverables are expected from each team. Many teams work on sustainment of existing software codebases, and sometimes teams work on new projects.
