Session: How To (Contribute to) Open Source
Developers want to contribute. Maintainers want help. That’s the contribution gap. This is a talk on how we can meaningful help contributors by looking at the what’s worked for 68,000+ developers over the past decade on CodeTriage, an open source service for helping contributors.
You’ll learn about the three archetypes of unsuccessful contributors, and the barriers that are holding them back. You’ll discover actionable tips to help them get off the sidelines and start getting commits (and other helpful contributions!). If you or someone in your life wants to contribute more, this is one talk you’ll want to merge into your main branch.
