At least once in the life of a software engineer or someone who works in technology, you will hear that contributing to open source is important and that you should try it. For some people, however, contributing doesn't just mean fixing a bug or updating some documentation. For these people, it means finding the right community to proudly be a part of, fighting their shyness, and then developing the confidence to jump in. In this talk, Claire & Valeria will share their personal experiences as people who started off as contributors and then became community leaders. They will share some tips for getting started, how you can take the next step and then, eventually, become an ambassador for your community.
