@michellesanver #CommunityWorks We all had them… Obstacles

Slide 35

Slide 35 text

Obstacles It was a tie. ! 1) Fear, that I really had no clue what I was doing and people were going to make fun of me.    2) Finding something to do!   And the ﬁrst one never really went away… I still worry when I contribute to things in say, python, or javascript, or something other than PHP where people know me. @michellesanver #CommunityWorks Obstacles Davey Shaﬁk

Slide 36

Slide 36 text

Obstacles Honestly, I just didn't realise my efforts would be useful or welcome. ! It was only because I was deeply into a tool (joind.in of course!) that I eventually got told to ﬁx some things myself, as a speaker and a conference organiser, I was just nagging Chris far too much. I was a project lead I think before I contributed at all to any other project, so I was a pretty slow starter! ! Now I just assume everyone appreciates the effort even if I'm doing it wrong, and I get in! @michellesanver #CommunityWorks Lorna Mitchell

Slide 37

Slide 37 text

I'm not 100% sure when my ﬁrst (open source) contribution took place.I think it was around 1997-1998, and it probably was either some small things inside the Linux kernel. ! The biggest issue for (starting) contributors I think is they are overwhelmed by the code and current userbase. It's hard to ﬁnd a place in such a group, and even though most of them would be perfectly capable of contributing, they won't because of fear of rejection, mockery etc. @michellesanver #CommunityWorks Obstacles Joshua Thijssen

Slide 38

Slide 38 text

My FIRST hurdle was having too many hobbies and not wanting to just do it. As a hobby. ! SECOND hurdle. Was trying to convince NASA, who I worked for. To allow me to open source some projects I'd created there. And failed. ! THIRD hurdle, was trying to contribute to OSS projects. While already now a senior programmer with a decade+ of experience. Yet because I had no OSS-karma. No one wanted my code, or to trust me. " @michellesanver #CommunityWorks Obstacles Eli White

Slide 39

Slide 39 text

When I contributed to an open source project for the ﬁrst time, the biggest obstacle for me was getting over my fear of doing something wrong and being publicly shamed. " ! Actually, that's not true. That was the biggest obstacle when I wanted to contribute to an open source project for the second time. When I ﬁrst tried to contribute to an open source project, I was full of excitement and jumped right in. My submission was not accepted, which I fully expected because I was new to the project. ! What I did not expect was that instead of constructive criticism or a "thanks anyway, but no", the response I received was rude and insulting. I did not contribute to another project for a year and a half after that for fear of being ridiculed again. Thanks to a very supportive network of friends in the PHP community, though, I was able to overcome my fear and am back to contributing where I can." @michellesanver #CommunityWorks Obstacles Beth Tucker Long
