Session: Community Repositories: Why You Need One for Your Open Source Project
A well designed, clearly laid out community repository is a strong addition to any open source project’s GitHub organization. Having a community repository means that not only experienced project contributors, but those new to your community can quickly get up-to-speed. Designing a community repository takes time, investment, and a commitment to improving documentation and enabling developers.
In this talk we will learn more about why you should consider having a community repository in your OSS project’s GitHub organization.
Attendees will learn how to create a README that lays out best practices for new contributors, establishes their code of conduct front-and-center, learn the differences between a contributor guide and a community repository, and will leave with actionable takeaways to start their own community.
