Ready to Commit: Contributing to Open Source

Looking to get into open source but not sure where to start? Are
you a contributor trying to understand why only some pull
requests get accepted? Or are you a maintainer who’s feeling
overwhelmed?


This episode looks at what it means to commit to an open source
project. We follow our heroes as they progress through the roles
of open source contributors: from finding projects and
contributing to them, to building and maintaining thriving
communities. Shannon Crabill shares how she got her start in open
source at Hacktoberfest 2017, and Corinne Warnshuis describes how
important it is to include people from all backgrounds to create
good software. There are many ways to contribute to open source.
Let’s walk through this together.
