Mentored Sprints - Python

Friday 22.Nov / 16:10

Python’s recent success can be traced back to its amazing community and ecosystem. Most of its libraries and stacks are the results of a collaborative effort between many community members on open-source projects.

Becoming a maintainer of an open-source project is a tricky path. From purely technical challenges like finding an issue to work on, interacting with git and GitHub and opening pull requests, to navigating through a project’s source and writing code and tests, the difficulties are many.

The goal of this workshop is to give guidance to people interested in contributing to open-source Python projects in order to overcome the initial steep learning curve, become more confident and open their first pull request. The workshop attendees will be able to receive 1:1 mentorship and advice to guide them through the process, starting from the very first steps all the way to becoming a member of a community project.
