the sustainability of open source is at stake.

dependent on open source.
Open Source Festival 2022 Open Source maintainers are burned out
& need all the help they can get.

Look for APIs that deserve their own libraries / SDKs
& make or even better contribute to them.
Finding & Fixing Security Vulnerabilities
E.g log4j, Wordpress HeartBleed, Laravel Ignition etc
Boost Code Health
- Integrate tools that keeps bundle size in check, e.g
bundle size, IDE extensions. Etc - Setting up linters - Setting up tools that facilitate great code standards.
Faster Developer Onboarding…
- Set up documentation for better onboarding to OSS projects.
- Set up demos to help new contributors grok the projects faster. - Make finding code easier on platforms & projects.
“You don’t have to know everything, but you should learn
how and where to find the things you need and want to know” - Albert Einstein
Mind-blowing opportunities exist for impactful OSS Contributors. …I’ll mention a
few.
