Session: Making Open Source Accessible: A hands-on workshop for facilitating contributions
After a year of offering 1:1 office hours to discuss open source, I’ve come to realize the importance of best practices and how often they are overlooked. Simple things like a well-crafted README.md and properly documented CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines can be the difference between an isolated project and one that attracts a community of contributors. In this hands-on workshop, I’ll provide guidance to help transform your code from simply being open to being a truly shareable and contributor-friendly project. After attending this workshop, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make your project more accessible and welcoming to potential contributors. Don’t miss this opportunity to improve your openness 🙂
