Let's contribute to scikit-learn! Mentored workshop


Details
PyLadies Berlin are excited to bring you this open source workshop dedicated to contributing to scikit-learn!
scikit-learn is a popular machine learning library and is widely adopted in industry as well as academia. In this session, you will be guided on how you can make your own contributions to the project, no prior experience contributing required! Not only will this teach you new skills and boost your CV, you'll also likely get a nice adrenaline rush when your contribution is accepted! If you don’t finish your contribution during the event, we hope you will continue to work on it after the workshop.
• Format for the session:
First 15 minutes : an introduction - what you can contribute and how to contribute
The rest : "office hours" during which you'll be mentored for making a contribution to scikit-learn.
**Pre Workshop Session**
For attending the event it is required that you have successfully installed the dev version of scikit-learn, have set up a dedicated python environment for the project, and that tests are running successfully. We have a dedicated pre-workshop event scheduled for these tasks which will be happening on 15 February. It is mandatory to sign up for this event if you don't have a working development environment. You can install all requirements yourself by following the instructions on this repository under "1.environment.md" and "2.building.md": https://github.com/scikit-learn-inria-fondation/EuroSciPy22 . You will also find a lot of useful additional information on this page.
Note that during the main workshop, we won't have the resources to help you set up your environment.
