We're excited to announce that Grace Hopper Celebration Open Source Day is open for project, mentor, and workshop applications!
Open Source Day (OSD) is an all-day hack-a-thon at Grace Hopper Celebration in which participants of all levels contribute and learn about Open Source while working on projects designed to solve real-world problems. OSD provides an opportunity for attendees of all skill levels and backgrounds to learn and experience open source contributions with the support of project maintainers, experienced mentors, and expert speakers, providing a fast track to becoming open source contributors.
This year, OSD will be a virtual pre-event before the Grace Hopper Celebration, scheduled for Friday, September 16th, 2022 from 8am to 3pm U.S. Pacific Time.
If you're an open source project maintainer, an experienced open source contributor, or have stories and ideas to share related to open source, we invite you to join us to be part of Open Source Day 2022.
* Projects * (CFP Closes: Monday, June 20th at 11:59 pm US PDT)
We're looking for open source projects to partner with for the event. Projects participating in OSD must provide triaged issues (non-documentation and "good first issue" labeled) and have one or more (up to 3) project maintainers participate during the event to help attendees contribute to their project. As a project partner, you'll be responsible for introducing your project, answering project related questions, providing guidance to assigned mentors, and helping attendees contribute to your project. Projects that engage in the event not only gain visibility and same-day contributions, but also benefit of widening their pool of future contributors! If you're interested in participating as a project partner, please refer to the project section for more details.
* Mentors * (CFP Closes: Monday, June 20th at 11:59 pm US PDT)
We're looking for mentors that will assist project maintainers in supporting attendees with their contribution to open source projects. Some of the responsibilities include walking attendees through finding a project, an issue to work on, setting up their local environment, answering git related questions, explaining the contribution requirements for the project, discussing how to solve a problem, reviewing code, and more! If you're interested in participating as a mentor, please refer to the mentor section for more details.
* Workshops * (CFP Closes: Monday, June 20th at 11:59 pm US PDT)
We're looking for workshop content from all skill levels and backgrounds on content focused on open source. We're seeking talks about open source technologies, projects, processes, community, emerging technology, and more to help attendees level up their open source contribution skills. If you're interested in participating as a speaker, please refer to the workshop section for more details.
