Have you ever thought about contributing to Open Source? If you haven't done so because you doubt your abilities. This is the talk for you! Everybody can help and every little bit helps.
Join me and discover how to get started and overcome your doubts. Let's get you contributing to Open Source projects!


Inspired by a talk from RoboCon 2023 where Ed Manlove asked for help with SeleniumLibrary I walked up to him and asked how I can contribute. What I found out is that the people behind all this cool Robot Framework code are regular humans just like you and me. I also found out that there are many ways to contribute, not just by writing code.

In my talk I will share my experience becoming a first time contributor to Robot Framework and show you all the different unexpected ways you can contribute to Open Source. If I can do it, you can do it too!
