[***OpenGuild Technical Contributors***](https://github.com/openguild-labs/tech-seeding) is the interal group of members managed by [**OpenGuild Labs**](https://github.com/openguild-labs) to gather experience technical contributors and developers into one hub. Instead of building and contributing alone, individuals can join the *OG Technical Contributors* to grow further together.&#x20;

[**Polkadot Technical Fellowship**](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-technical-fellowship) is a decentralized organization that most technical contributors in the Polkadot ecosystem are keen on joining it. However, the barrier entry is high, especially for builders who don't have prior experience in blockchain and Polkadot. Hence, OpenGuild Technical Contributor is a sub-group of the OpenGuild Labs that helps builders to contribute actively and collaboratively to the Polkadot ecosystem with a more friendly entry barrier.&#x20;

However, if you are not interested into the technical contribution, we still have bunches of other activities and benefits for you aside from this.&#x20;
