Am I good enough?
How can You contribute?
- Reporting Bugs and Feature Requests
- Writing or updating / fixing documentation
- Translations (docs, apps)
- Code
- Stop complaining!
Mindset.
"I don't have time for work after work"
"It's hard" //
"I suck"
But, really... why?
I got 99 problems, but PRs for them ain't one...
- X-Factor Project™ (rapid growth of popularity)
- Bugs, issues, feature requests = maintenance = time?!
- Will > Possibilities = wrong priorities
- Lack of management skills (self-management included)
Best practises
- CONTRIBUTING.md
- up-for-grabs & first-timers-only
- Gitter / Slack chats
- Forums
- Answer those damn e-mails / issues...
- Discuss & don't give up - PR is just a beginning!
Bad examples
- !Best practises
- Issues Tracker R.I.P.
- "No" is the right (and only) answer
- "You know nothing John Snow"
- No roadmap
- Code of conduct? Code of what?
- Newcomers? For what?!
Thank you!

Career in/with Open Source
By Marcin Zajkowski
Career in/with Open Source
O Open Source każdy słyszy i prawdopodobnie z tego typu oprogramowania czy bibliotek korzysta, ale gdy dochodzi do kwestii tego ilu z nas – developerów – dołożyło swoje cegiełki do projektów o otwartym źródle, statystyka i liczebność tejże grupy spada dość drastycznie. Dlaczego tak się dzieje? Nie mamy na to czasu? Czy też może cytując hit Kayah nie widzimy w tym sensu i nucimy sobie: “Po co? Po co? Po co? Po co?”. Czy rzeczywiście można “wygrać” swoje developerskie życie jednym commitem oraz o tym jak o 180 stopni moje programistyczne (i nie tylko!) życie zmieniła aktywność na przestrzeni wolnego oprogramowania opowiem w trakcie prezentacji.
