Open UP Summit Tokyo Outreach is a networking event for people who are interested in open source and enjoy meeting new people in the field. At this event we invited 2 speakers that are into open source and community building. We are fortunate to have SmartNews and Happy Digital to be our partners and sponsors for this outreach.

👉Topic: There are So Many Ways to Contribute to Open Source Projects
Speaker: Naoko Takano @ Automattic
オープンソースプロジェクトへの貢献、と聞くと、どのようなことをするイメージを持つでしょうか。多くのソフトウェアのコミュニティにおいては、ソースコードを書くという作業がその大半を占めています。私が関わる WordPress はややユニークで、もちろんコードを書いて貢献している人も非常に数多く存在するのですが、そうではない人でも幅広い分野で大きく貢献することが可能です。
このセッションでは、あなたが培ってきた様々なスキルを活かした貢献を世界中の何百、何千万の人に届けられる方法について、ご紹介と提案をします。
What do you picture when you hear the phrase "contribution to open source projects"? In many software development communities, it often means writing the source code. However, the WordPress community is kind of unique. Of course, there are a large number of contributors who write code – but at the same time, you can be an impactful contributor in a wide range of areas outside of programming.
In this session, Naoko would like to introduce and propose some ways to contribute your earned skills to open source projects. By doing so, you may be able to help millions of others.
Naoko is a translation community manager and event organizer in Japanese and global WordPress community. She is currently keeping herself busy by leading the organizing team of WordCamp Asia (Feb 21-23, 2020/Bangkok), the first flagship WordPress event in Asia.
Big thanks to our wonderful sponsors! We extend our sincere appreciation to our sponsors, without whom our event would not be possible. We invite you to support these community-minded companies.
