Hey hey, 👋 I hope you're having a great day.

I managed to finish the slides finally and today is the deadline for them 😆

Could you please take a look at https://github.com/fejes713/github-universe-talk/blob/master/slides-for-review.pdf and give your feedback?

I'll submit slides 6 hours from now.

I'll be online so feel free to ping me if anything is unclear.

Now that we sorted out our takeaways, I'd like to ask for one more thing before I start making slides.

I know this will take 10 minutes of your day but this is the most important thing for the talk Please read it ❤️

What would be the most interesting for audience to hear?

Intro

Here is my current list of the things I wanted to cover (mostly in this order):

• Very short introduction of me (youngest speaker at the event ever) followed by a most frequent question How it all started?
• How I got into programming (a short story with cheating in HS and how I wanted to be a garbagemen when I was 5 years old)
• My first internship and working with a team - made me appreciate the team effort when building something
• Finding a first open-source project to contribute to which was http://30secondsofcode.org
• Meeting the team and talking about how all of us are different (age, skill level, native language, location, ...) - a few notes here about all of us.
• Telling the audience that this talk won't be just about me, but about the whole meta team
• Revealing that the talk is open source and if people don't like it, they can contribute to it 😄

Early days

• Mentioning the early days and what got me excited about contributing to open source (star count, fast-paced development, more knowledge compared to school)
• Talking about hard parts of being maintainer while 18 years old. Lack of git knowledge, no advance knowledge of JS and telling how team was very helpful during those times. (I'll come later to these points just from a different perspective *).
• Telling a short story of how I was thinking more green squares === better career opportunities and how I spent the whole Christmas making 80+ unit tests in 80+ commits 👍(never got an internship at FAANG)
• The project inspired a few of us to start our own repositories (same values, just different languages) - how everybody was supportive, gave feedback and helped with the launch.
• The idea of forming an organization and our core values that set us apart

Core talk values

• Helping new contributors and attracting new ones. Mentioning the language and skill barrier.
• Talking about the feedback from contributors and the general audience (both good and bad) and how to deal with it on social media and GitHub.
• Telling do's and don't for people who use OSS software. Don't ask for a feature, make it
• Finding time to do the open source & story about an employer who asked me to stop working on open source if I accepted the offer.
• Standardizing the processes, introducing the CI/CD, contribution guidelines, templates, Gatsby, performance etc.
  - TODO

Takeaways

• Telling the biggest takeaways for each of us and how this project changed our careers (stuff from #1)
• Future plans

As you can tell I didn't have much to add this morning to core talk values so if you have any inspiration feel free to do so in the comments.

Looking forward to your feedback @Chalarangelo @atomiks @skatcat31 ❤️

I didn't get to this point alone so I'd like to invite all awesome folks who contributed to @30-seconds organization (especially @Chalarangelo) to help me prepare the talk for GitHub Universe 2019.

Checklist:

⏳deadline: 24th October

• Discuss talk ideas
• Make slides
• Practice
• Practice
• Practice

I imagined my talk to be a collaborative process between everyone at @30-seconds so that's why I am asking for your input 😄

Let's discuss the ideas in this thread below!

All tests should pass and the coverage should be pretty high. Could somebody add fake badges for build passing?
