TOI / YOU !

OSS ? Pourquoi contribuer ? Why contributing ?

Pourquoi créer un projet OSS ? Why making it OSS ?

• Solve issues / add feature to a project you’re using
• Learn about a technology, get curious on how things are done
• Pay back the community helping it out
• Make your resume stand out !

• Get help from the community
• Allow users and contributors to see how you created the features
• Make your resume stand out !

Contribuer peut être difficile...

• Some OSS projects have some CLA to sign first
• Make sure you can sign the CLA, so that your contribution will be used
• Being an OSS project maintainer is very time consuming, so...
• your contribution can be pending for several days before a maintainer evaluates it
• maintainers can have some other plans for the resolution and decline your PR even if it worked
• make sure your contribution works and respects the quality standard in place
• Make sure the project is still alive (watch the last commit date for example)

Prêt ? Ready ? Some advice

• Respect project existing layout (code indentation, code coverage, etc.)
• Respect project owners
• be polite in the issue / PR
• communicate clearly your intent on the issue tracker
• be patient, communication is asynchronous, people are in different TZ
• You can ask for help on the issue, but make sure you spent time thinking about it

OSS ? Par où commencer ? Where to start ?

• Contribute to a project you’re familiar with
• Not familiar with the technology ? your contribution can be documentation, the website, the build
• Hacktoberfest has plenty of resources to get contribution inspiration

Revue de tickets / Issues review

• Let’s go through the issues list with label “hacktoberfest”
• Use filters (Java / Go / Javascript / documentation)

A toi de jouer - It’s your turn
