Poppins is a manifest that states the importance of having open source projects focused on beginners and first contributors and how to do so. A project is considerate a "Poppins project" if it is mainly managed to help beginners to level up their skills and increase their experience with OSS in a mentorship community atmosphere. Poppins projects have a slower development pace and are not focused on making the best software out there, instead it aims to help beginners make their first contributions following a mentor-based learning approach, covering the main aspects of how to build a good OSS in a healthy community.

Projects created with this purpose may use the Poppins badge to identify them as a good place for beginners to make their first contributions and learn how the OSS development works for real.

To build a Poppins project, follow the Manifesto Principles and Guidelines and have fun. =)
