Poppins is a kind of project managed to help open source beginners to level up their skills and increase their experience 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 porpopuse 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.
