Mentorship-backend: blog: OSH Experience
Description
I want you to write a blog about the OSH experience from a newcomer's point of view for the backend repo. So that it tells your experience about open source and also may serve as an intro to backend repo for prospective contributors.
Write a blog on Medium and share the link in a document called outreach-work.md in the “/docs” folder of mentorship-backend. So you need to create a post and add a new line to this document.
Mention AnitaB.org as a publication while publishing the blog/article (called: story on medium) at the end of your blog.

@paritoshsinghrahar Do we need to use medium only for blog post or any blogging site will serve the purpose?

I would love to share my experience , Can you assign me too?
My blog will focus mainly about the early problems i faced and the rise in my confidence after the first PR. I would love to mention how easy is to work in OSH when maintainers are giving their best to help you.

Hey. please feel free to post on your own Medium (I'd say avoid using Medium but it's your choice at the end of the day!) or your own blog. No need to wait for the org publication.

@paritoshsinghrahar I guess to add publication one must have editor or owner level permissions.

@decon-harsh Yes, but one can request for publication. It will help the article discovered in a better manner. And anyway blogging your experience on your page helps too.
@ashwinijha6 @devkapilbansal Oh, ok. Great.

@paritoshsinghrahar just had a question mentioning the publication & tagging them to your story are the same thing right?

Actually, that happened in a vice-versa manner with me. When a publication left a note on my article. I see one cannot private message the other way round.
I'll change the Issue description to not add as a publication.
