OPEN SOURCE KIGALI CAMPUS PROGRAM ALU

​From Student to Open Source Contributor — Open Source Kigali x African Leadership University

​📅 Saturday, 3 October 2026 · 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM
📍 African Leadership University (ALU), Kigali

​Whether you already know Git & GitHub or you're just getting started, this session is built to get you from "I have an account" to "I have a GitHub profile that gets me noticed."

​What you'll walk away with:

• ​A live look at how real open-source contribution actually works — fork, branch, PR, and what a clean commit history says to a recruiter

• ​A job-ready GitHub profile: README, pinned repos, visible contributions

• ​Real, beginner-friendly issues you can start contributing to that same day

• ​A spot in the Open Source Kigali Contributor Challenge, with mentor support

• ​A chance to meet other developers and builders in Kigali

​Bring: your laptop, a GitHub account (or create one before you arrive — link below)

​This isn't a generic tech talk. It's your first real step into open source — with people who'll actually help you make your first (or next) contribution.
