That is to say: even with many resources and funds invested, efforts are often disjointed, siloed, or sidelined. As GitHub scales to becomes home for one billion global developers, we aim to fix this.
Join facilitators, Ruth Ikegah, open source consultant at CHAOSS, and Sarah Oyetubo, senior DI&B program manager at GitHub, for a discussion on how to foster collaboration and help skill new developers, lowering the barrier of entry to open source for all.
