Making the most out of your OSS contributions

• Dawn Foster (CHAOSS Project)

Room: 503/1-001 - Council Chamber Navigating open source projects can be a challenge for both new and experienced contributors. This talk will cover contribution best practices that will help new contributors get started while also helping experienced contributors improve their interactions with open source projects. We'll discuss how to use metrics from the CHAOSS project to consider the health of the external projects you contribute to and identify areas that might indicate that a project is at risk of becoming unviable in the future. But the advantage of working in open source is that we can identify potential risks and work within projects to make them more viable, and this talk will discuss how to improve projects from within. By the end of this talk, you'll have learned tips and tricks for becoming an even better open source contributor.
