Contributions are more than commits
Started OSS thinking PRs were the only path. Took me 5 years to realize contributions go far beyond code. From docs to reviews, GSoC to working groups across Django, Sharing how I contribute more than ever as a DSF member & GSoC org admin.

I started my open source journey as a contributor during college, making my first contribution to the Hugging Face Transformers library: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/13179
. Over the next five years, I realized OSS is far more than code. Today, I’m a Django Software Foundation member, Django GSoC org admin, mentor, and volunteer across Python, Postgres, Grafana, and observability communities through mentoring, reviews, talks, and community-building.

I’d like to discuss how open source communities can grow beyond code contributions, especially in Python ecosystems. Many OSS projects and Python events need help with marketing, documentation, mentorship, design, reviews, community management, and outreach, but programmers often overlook these roles. I want attendees to share how their communities sustain contributors long term, reduce contributor anxiety, and make OSS participation more welcoming and accessible.
