All levels are welcome. Durning this session we will go over how to get get involved and make your first open source contribution. A few brave souls will lead breakout sessions where we'll mob program through some hopefully simple contributions.
If you’re new to open source (which everyone was once!), you can take a look at the Introduction to Open Source tutorial series. To make your first contribution, it’s required to familiarize yourself with how to create a pull request. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial_series/an-introduction-to-open-source
