You do not need to be the owner of an open-source project to be accepted as a project lead. However, you must contribute regularly and be knowledgeable about the entire codebase.
11
+
If you meet these criteria, simply contact one of the organizers listed in the event page.

Promote the event and your project to attract contributors!<br/>

One way to do that is to prepare a small video or standalone slideshow to explain:

</p>
18
+
<ulclass="text-left">
19
+
<li>what your project is about</li>
20
+
<li>the kind of contributions you are looking for</li>
21
+
<li>any prerequisites</li>
22

</ul>

Here is an excellent example of a <ahref="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tPkAYkBFjy4O1Zr3qWQv2k9GKU9tkBXb/view" rel="noopener" target="_blank">short video introduction</a> of the Kubernetes documentation translation project.

hack-commit-push events aim at being inclusive.
28
+
This means you will likely collaborate with people of heterogeneous experience.
29
+
We advise you to prepare a backlog of issues of varying difficulty.
30
+
If your project requires some prior knowledge that would take too long to explain during the event, be very explicit about it in your presentation.

If the event is virtual, make sure to be available at some point to get familiar with the tooling.
34
+
If the event happens in a centralized location, make sure to arrive a bit earlier to get familiar with the place, so that you can help contributors find their way.

Congratulations, you prepared a presentation and attracted many contributors.
39
+
You have come with colleagues so each of you can focus on a couple of contributors.
40
+
You can start with some general information about the project and then split into smaller groups to work on contributions. Contributors can work in pairs (or more). This usually helps people getting started, especially if they feel a bit nervous working alone on something completely new for them!<br/>
41
+
Take some breaks, enjoy the collaborations and have fun!

Some events have training sessions on technical topics (e.g. Git).
45
+
This means that you must be ready to welcome new contributors in the middle of the event, once they completed their training.
