🌟 Stefanie Senger (:probabl.) Talk title: How do YOU start contributing to Open Source? Abstract: In this talk, we'll explore what it needs to start contributing to open source projects as a beginner. We'll discuss the mindset required for successful participation, focusing on qualities like collaboration, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. We'll cover essential pre-requisites such as understanding version control systems, issue tracking, and the basics of code review. Finally, we'll provide practical advice on where to begin your open source journey, including tips for finding beginner-friendly projects and issues and leveraging online resources and communities. If you're looking to take your first steps into the world of open source contribution, don't miss out on this.

About Stefanie: Stefanie is an open source developer at scikit-learn, who has transitioned into this field not too long ago. She has been an historian before and contributed text to the Wikipedia before getting into Python.

Get ready for lightning talks: Many of you told us that you would like to give a talk, but your project is not mature enough. You no longer have to worry about it. Come and practice your public speaking during the 3 minutes time-slot. Some ideas on what you can talk about:

• Python library or function you love or which you recently discovered,
• article you've read
• your journey into Python
• conference you have attended

You can decide anytime before the start of lightning talks or you may want to prepare up to one slide (in pdf format) which you can send us the latest on the 11th of March to [email protected]

Criteo will be our host and sponsor of the food and the drinks during the networking session after the talks: thank you 💚 and special thanks to Sonia Corne from Criteo for all the support.
