How to contribute to OSS without annoying maintainers?

Duration: NaN:NaN:NaN

Speaker: Soham Zemse

Type: CLS - Lightning Talk (Open Tech Summit)

Expertise:

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2026

Maintainers are busy, and the wrong kind of help can cost them more than it saves. This talk shares practical habits for contributing to open source the way maintainers hope you will: reading the project first, asking before building, writing issues and PRs that are easy to review, responding well to feedback, and using AI tools responsibly, so your contributions get merged and you become someone projects want to keep.
