Special Workshop: Become An Open Source Contributor

Special Workshop: Become An Open Source Contributor

Welcome to our latest event at Java User Group Montreal. This time, we dive into the exciting world of OSS (open source software).

In this special hands-on workshop, you will learn how to explore a GitHub repo, how to fork a repo and make changes, how to create and review pull requests, and much more! But most importantly, you will also learn how dedication and respect matter more than code! 🗿

Maxime David is here to share how open source shaped his career and why contributing can be one of the most powerful ways to grow as a developer.

This workshop is open to developers of all levels — no matter if you are in first year of university, doing a master, or a seasoned developer, you will surely learn something in this workshop!
