Join GitHub at the Grace Hopper Celebration 2022

The Grace Hopper Celebration's Open Source Day on September 16, 2022, features various workshops and talks aimed at fostering inclusion and diversity within the open source community, emphasizing web accessibility and overcoming the fear of contributing to open source. Kendall Gassner and Adrián Bolonio, both Accessibility Software Engineers at GitHub, will lead a workshop on writing accessible pull requests to make the web more inclusive for people with disabilities. Another session, facilitated by Rizel Scarlett, a Developer Advocate at GitHub, will address the intimidation often felt by newcomers to open source, sharing personal stories to inspire confidence in making initial contributions. The event, organized by Abigail Cabunoc Mayes from GitHub, underscores the importance of creating an open-source ecosystem that is welcoming and accessible to all, particularly for underrepresented groups.
