From YouTube: Let Me In: Open the Doors of your Organization for Student Contributors- Karuna Tata, AsyncAPI Init.

Description

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.
