In this session I am going to share my experiences as a new person entering into open-source from the outside and provide you with my view on the onboarding process and open-source communities in general. As member of the RDO project, CentOS project and Fedora packager, I will talk about how the onboarding process looked like, what was most important in it and how I've gone from a new member to being an experienced contributing member. I hope sharing my journey will help you to find and join a community of your own or help newcomers in communities you are engaged in.
