A pull request is often seen as the finish line of open source contribution, but it is usually where the real engineering begins.
In this session, Kendi J explores the skills that open source teaches beyond writing code: navigating unfamiliar codebases, communicating technical decisions, collaborating with maintainers, giving and receiving feedback, and building trust within developer communities.
Whether you're making your first contribution or already maintaining projects, you'll discover how open source can help you become a stronger engineer and a better collaborator.
This session is hosted by Didas Mbarushimana daniel, Software Engineer and Lead of Open Source Kigali, React JS Rwanda and Django Rwanda communities dedicated to empowering developers, students, and creators to learn, build, and contribute to open source projects that solve real-world problems.
