Do you know what is open-source?

Definition is tricky...

• The source code (recipe) is opened
   
• Free to use (under certain scenarios)
   
• Check the definition at OSI

Why contribute to OSS?

• Give back to the community
   
• To learn
   
• To build up a portfolio
   
• To make friends

Things we use

• Revision control - git
   
• Online repository - GitHub
   
• IDE - your choice

What can I contribute?

• Code (bug fixes, new features)
   
• Documentation (important, not easy)
   
• Testing and reporting issues
   
• Community participation

What is a PR?

• Pull Request
   
• Sending a message to the maintainer
   
• Communication, not a final product
   
• Can take times
