Some questions

Speaker Notes Don’t worry if you’re new to “open source”, or if you’re still a student – many of our contributors are, too, and we’d be happy to provide mentorship and support if this is your first time contributing to an open-source project.

The main thing is that you are passionate about addressing common challenges in data-intensive science and that you’re responsible and reliable.
