Intro

We are here to help you get started on your first contribution to open-source software. Let’s define a few of those terms.

Open source software- Software that makes the source code publicly available to view and modify.

Contribution- If you decide to modify or add something to the source code of an open source project, you can feed that back in to the project.

Pull request- The mechanism by which you add your contribution to a project. You will fork the project (that is, make your own copy of the entire repository), make changes on your own copy, and create a pull request which asks the maintainer of the original to incorporate your code back into the project.

Fork- Your own copy of a project on your own Github account.

Repository- The place where the code is stored.

Any questions on that?

Before we do that, I want to tell you about the people that allow us to be here and put on this event.
