FLOSS and Code Oakland

GitHub

This event has been postponed to a future date due to covid-19 concerns.  The FLOSS and Code event is a hack day where attendees will get hands-on experience contributing to meaningful open source projects on GitHub.
Companies of all sizes need open source software to run effectively and hiring managers at major technology companies have cited regularly that candidates with open source consistently experience stand out from the rest.
Join us for a GitHub Blacktocats lead workshop on contributing to the FLOSS (freely licensed open source software) and receive in-person mentorship from maintainers from some notable projects on GitHub.
