The backbone of our modern digital society is built upon open-source software that is available for free! Everything from the internet down to IoT devices such as cars and washing machines incorporates open-source software in some way. Open-source software is one of the unique developments of the software community and is hard to come by in other fields.

You might look at a popular open-source project on GitHub and be daunted by the scale of the project and the number of contributors which can turn a lot of folks away from attempting to contribute to open-source projects! Fear not, our speaker for the event: Henry Ruiz (GDE TensorFlow Core, Ph.D. student at Texas A&M) will provide valuable insights and tips and workflows to get you started on your open-source journey!
