Sessions
First experience of stepping into the rabbit hole of contributing to open-source software, highlighting key learnings and practical steps for beginners. It covers overcoming self-doubt, learning through collaboration, and the unexpected joys of community engagement. What you can learn from contributing to Open Source and what you probably will not as an aspiring Data Scientist.
Narwhals is an extremely lightweight and extensible compatibility layer between dataframe libraries, and it needs your help! An open source sprint is the perfect opportunity to make your first contribution to open source. The core maintainers of the Narwhals package will prepare a list of easy and accessible first issues to get started with, and will be present in this session to guide you to make your first commit to the package. This is the perfect opportunity to give back to the Python ecosystem, while having some fun.
