Just contribute?!
2024-08-29 , Room 7

Open source software is here for everyone - but how are we making sure that everyone has equal access?
In this keynote I will discuss how to lower barriers of entry for new contributors - and the many facets to this: documentation, community, guidelines, and tools.
I will share my personal motivations for contributing to open-source software and my journey over the past five years and all of its learnings.
