11:15 am – 11:30 am - Eliminating the "Runs on My Machine" Problem: A Developer's Guide (Ivan Burazin)
As a developer, novice or skilled, setting up your environment and dependencies is a common problem. More often than not, you run into the "runs on my machine" issue. Rid yourself of this problem once and for all and focus on what you do best - code. An event where we talk about all things Developer Experience, Tooling, and Open Source.
11:30 am – 12:00 pm - Transitioning into Leadership: from Contributor to a Maintainer/manager in Open Source (Anita ihuman)
As contributors begin their journey into Open source, they gain new skills and experience that increase their capacity and impact their careers and the communities they contribute to. Most of these contributors may consider maintainer/management roles within the community they find themselves in. While both contributors and managers are seen as problem solvers within the community, they solve problems differently. As someone who transitioned from a beginner in tech and open source to leadership roles in open-source communities, I would love to share the secret to advancing your career through open source. We will look at the difference between an individual contributor’s role and a manager's role in a community during this session. We'll also discuss the steps to transitioning into a managerial role as a contributor and how to fit into this role.
12:00 pm – 12:30 pm - Navigating Your First Go Project (David Olagookun)
Embarking on your first Go project can be both exciting and challenging. In this talk, we’ll explore practical steps to help beginners get started with Go, from setting up a development environment to following best practices and tackling common pitfalls. You’ll learn how to structure your project, test your code, and leverage community support, ensuring a smooth and rewarding journey in Go development.
12:30 pm - 12:45 pm - Contributing to Open Source Can Change Your Life (Ivan Burazin)
