Every Wednesday at 10:45 PST we host the new contributors ensemble. This is a space for people who are keen to contribute to open source to get together and support each other in making their first contributions. 🦄
The Cucumber team is committed to tackling the structural sexism and racism in open source, and we host these sessions to provide a welcoming environment for people who have historically been under-represented in open source. ✊🏿🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Sometimes, when people feel comfortable, we stream the session live over Twitch. You can watch it on https://twitch.tv/cucumberbdd or watch old sessions on our YouTube channel.
You can also read our manifesto:
Would you like to join us?
Everyone is welcome! If you’d like to join in, sign up for the Community Slack and head over to the #new-contributors channel and say hello.
If you’re new to open source and feeling a bit nervous 😳, we understand! We recommend watching this excellent guide to give you a grounding in some of the basic concepts. We want you to feel safe to make mistakes, and ask questions.
