AsyncAPI Conference 2022 - Day 1
3rd November 2022
While being a black woman in tech is challenging, being a mother in tech involves facing a whole other set of biases from corporations and OSS communities. Whenever an opportunity arises, many people quickly assume mothers don’t have the same time and dedication to complete work, resulting in fewer mothers receiving tech opportunities. In this talk, I’ll highlight how I broke into OSS as a mother, how AsyncAPI gave me a fair chance to learn new skills, and how to best support mothers contributing to open-source.

AsyncAPI Conference 2022 - Day 3
5th November 2022
Starting your Open Source journey as a student can bring many opportunities that could boost your career at an early stage. But, how many students are getting to live this dream? Open Source organizations may significantly influence a student contributor's journey by creating a welcoming environment for all. In this talk, I will share a few examples of OSS communities doing a great job welcoming students to OSS (i.e., AsyncAPI, EddieHub, Data On Kubernetes, etc.). We'll discuss how AsyncAPI keeps working to create a diverse and inclusive environment by welcoming contributors of all knowledge levels and matching them with mentors, how the Data of Kubernetes community welcomes contributors who can rap and design, and more! Lastly, the audience will learn how to prevent issues such as a lack of inclusivity, communication gaps amongst contributors, and a lack of mentors to help onboard new contributors.

AsyncAPI Conference 2022 - Day 2
4th November 2022
AsyncAPI is an open-source (OSS) project that seeks to promote and facilitate the development of asynchronous APIs and event-driven architecture (EDA). In this talk, I will detail how getting involved as an OSS contributor in the AsyncAPI initiative has opened a new career path for me in OSS. By the end of this talk, the audience will learn how my personal experience working in corporate as a software engineer contrasts with my OSS contribution experience, now inspiring me to pursue a new career path in OSS.

AsyncAPI is an open-source specification tool helpful for describing asynchronous APIs and event-driven architectures. In this talk, I will share my onboarding experience as a first-time contributor to the AsyncAPI documentation. By the end of this talk, my audience will learn what kind of onboarding help new AsyncAPI contributors receive, how new contributors can find answers to their questions, and how AsyncAPI mentors supported me through my learning curve of contributing to our documentation.
