+### Starter Tasks
+
+There are no prerequisites to joining staff, other than a willingness to learn and participate! If you have no prior experience with coding, Linux, working with servers, etc. and would like to learn how to contribute to the OCF technically, we have a variety of starter tasks, beginner projects, and other resources to help you get acquainted.

+The most effective way to get started is to come to the lab during weekly meetings and after-hours to talk to staff members! We can help you figure out your interests at the OCF and provide more direction towards contributing.

+#### Staff Training

+The [staff training resources][staff-training] contain a number of weekly collaborative exercises, working up from the basics to eventually making a substantial contribution of your own.

All lectures and lab assignments are [open source][decal-web] and available for free on the website, and you are more than welcome to use them even if you aren't officially enrolled in the course.

+#### Starter Tasks Page
