​Save the date: PyLadies Vancouver Open Source Contribution Workshop

​Join PyLadies Vancouver for a hands-on workshop on making your first open source contribution!

​Have you ever wanted to contribute to open source but weren't sure where to begin? This workshop is for you.

​Together we'll go from "I've never contributed before" to opening a real pull request, with plenty of support at every step. No prior contribution experience is needed. If you can write a little Python, you belong here.

​Open source runs on far more than code, and there are many ways to get involved. We'll show you how to find your footing and give you the confidence to keep contributing long after the workshop ends.

​Tentative Agenda

​Using a friendly practice open-source project, you'll get hands-on with:

​- Getting started in open source, and the many ways to get involved

​- Finding projects and issues that are a good fit for you

​- Git and GitHub for contributors: forking, branching, commits, and pull requests

​- Contributing to documentation

​- Packaging a Python project

​- Continuous integration and CI/CD

​By the end, you'll have walked the whole contribution journey from start to finish on a real repository, and you'll know exactly how to take that first step on a project you care about.

​Who it's for

​Anyone comfortable writing a little Python who is new to, or curious about, contributing to open source. Everyone is welcome.

​What to bring

​Bring your own laptop. We'll send a short setup guide before the workshop so you arrive ready to contribute.
