Coworking Mini-Hackathon for First-Time Contributors!

online, 🌐 • With Yanina Bellini Saibene, Steffi LaZerte.

Join us for 2 hours Tuesday March 04, 14:00 European Central (13:00 UTC) for a special coworking event.

This is the second of two mini hackathons we’ll be hosting to Support First Time Contributors to Open Source Software. If you’re curious about contributing to Open Source Software, and would like some support to get started, this event is for you!

During this session you’ll join others making contributions to R packages while package maintainers and other mentors are available ’live’ to answer questions and give guidance.

We’ll also have a special Slack channel ready as a place for asynchronous questions during the event and in the week following.

These collaborative events are designed to help first-time contributors get started with open-source projects. Whether you’re improving documentation, reviewing translations, fixing bugs, or adding new features, our mentors will guide you every step of the way.

No prior experience required. Non-first time contributors are very welcome too—just bring your curiosity and enthusiasm!

Note that this event requires registration. Please fill out this short form to sign up.

We’ll send out reminders, some information to get you started, and a Zoom link closer to the date.
