Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room F

Non-code contributions are essential for the success and sustainability of open-source projects. They promote broader inclusion and accessibility, strengthen project governance, incorporate diverse perspectives to enhance usability and communication and facilitate collaboration across the ecosystem.

The abundance of materials and websites can feel overwhelming when you’re new to the CNCF ecosystem. We will explore the steps to help newcomers create their first PR, guiding them through contributions to projects such as documentation, whitepapers, release projects, governance, and leadership. This includes localization, which allows diverse cultures and language communities to engage with and benefit from the project.

This talk will provide attendees a clear roadmap for non-code contributions, making the journey more visible and accessible, while enabling the next generation of leaders to emerge and thrive in non-code roles.
