Our events cater to a wide range of experience levels and interests, with technical topics for intermediate to senior developers, as well as beginner-friendly content.

How to Navigate and Contribute to Large Open Source Projects
Maximillian Polhill, Software Engineer III, GitHub
Open-source software powers much of our digital world, from operating systems to web frameworks. These projects thrive on contributions from developers like you, but getting started can feel overwhelming—how do you find the right project, navigate large codebases, and make a meaningful impact? In this talk, we’ll break down how to successfully navigate open-source projects and contribute effectively. You’ll learn how to cut through complex codebases, submit high-quality pull requests, handle feedback from maintainers, and communicate within open-source communities. We’ll also discuss overcoming impostor syndrome, making non-code contributions, and how open source can help you grow into a well-rounded software engineer and boost your career.
