Hope the call goes great! In case it's helpful, here is my advice to people who want to contribute to open source for the first time <https://harihareswara.net/posts/2022/i-want-to-start-contributing-to-open-source-my-current-advice/>. Summary:
* consider why and how you want to contribute, so you know your own goals * choosing projects: prioritize local maintainers, stuff you interact with and use, and interpersonal style/responsiveness that agrees with you * your first contributions: testing and bug commenting, not fixing a bug ------------------------------------------ This list is for the purpose of general discussion about The Carpentries including community activities, upcoming events, and announcements.
