Description
Open-source projects strive to build communities of contributors in geographic areas where they have little or no presence. The goal of this talk is to provide strategies for engaging contributors in underrepresented regions. Certain geographic locations within open-source projects may have limited contributor engagement, posing unique challenges. These areas offer diverse potential contributors, necessitating tailored approaches to effectively engage and integrate new contributors.
