My step-by-step guide to becoming a Django core contributor DjangoCon Europe 2024

My step-by-step guide to becoming a Django core contributor DjangoCon Europe 2024

In this talk, I will present my journey from doubting myself to joining an established Django contributor team. I will show examples of different tasks I did along the way, and cover questions I and my fellow Djangonaut Space contributors would ask ourselves during this journey. We will also cover a few possible improvements to the contributor experience, and my personal tips on how to navigate common situations for Django contributors. The steps we’ll cover are: 1. Self doubt, think you can’t do it 2. Meet the Django community 3. Get encouragement from others to overcome impostor syndrome 4. Join DjangoCon Contributor Sprints. First contribution! 5. Apply to Djangonaut Space 6. Selected! 8-week mentoring program 7. Make pull requests, report issues, post in the Django forum, ask questions! 8. Apply to join a team of your interest (accessibility team) 9. Selected! Team meetings & collaboration Having been through all of this journey, we’ll be able to look back on achievements and learnings from those experiences. Sharing this, I hope to inspire others who might not feel like they are able to contribute and to encourage them to begin their own contribution journey.
