About this event

Join us for Day 3, the final session of our 3-day bootcamp dedicated to taking you from 0 to your first portfolio piece.

Think open source is only for developers? Think again. This session is for anyone curious about contributing to open source as a technical writer.

We'll break down what open source actually means for writers, answer the big question of whether you need to code to contribute, and show you how to find beginner-friendly projects to get started on. By the end, you'll understand exactly how to make your first open source contribution.
