Open source powers much of the software we use every day — from frameworks and libraries to full platforms. But for many developers, the idea of contributing feels intimidating or out of reach.

In this DevMeets session, we’ll walk through the practical, beginner-friendly steps you can take to get started with open source. From finding the right projects, understanding contribution guidelines, and making your first pull request, to building confidence for larger, more impactful contributions — you’ll leave with a clear roadmap.

Whether you’re a developer looking to sharpen your skills, grow your professional profile, or give back to the community, this session will help you move from “I’d like to” to “I just did.”
