 Hello, everyone. I'm Shivay Lamba, and I'm currently a Google Summer of Code mentor at Jenkins and CMCA Foundation. The topic of my lightning talk is the rise of open source development programs for the underrepresented people in tech. Now, first of all, let's understand what exactly is open source. As it breaks down into two words, open and source. Open meaning that it is open for anyone to come in and use, anyone to contribute to it, anyone to use it at any time without any restrictions on the geography, or the race, or the gender of the person who can contribute to it. And source means that the source code of that project, or that program, is completely open sourced, that it is completely visible to the public. It's not closed, or it's not something that is paid. And usually, a lot of the open source programs are free as well. So the main idea behind open source is that anyone can come in and contribute to these kind of projects. Anyone can come in and share their ideas. And that is the impact of open source, that it brings in hundreds and thousands of developers from across the world to come and contribute to these projects. And this makes it a global collaboration. And even small changes to these can impact softwares that are being used by hundreds and thousands of people. So anyone who is contributing to open source can really get a lot of experience of software and also real-world software development practices that can help them. And again, with open source being very collaborative, it is much better in terms of security and in terms of getting bugs fixed as compared to closed source software. So it's all about collaboration, all about contributing, and anyone can come in and give their suggestions and contribute to the code base of these open source projects. Makes it very inclusive for everyone. And that is the reason that we are seeing a rise of open source programs for the underrepresented sections in the tech society. So when it comes to tech, which is usually main, male dominated, we have seen the rise of the underrepresented parts of the sector. For example, like the women in tech or people from the LGBT community or people in color also coming in now and contributing to open source. And there's an active application for the number of users who contribute to open source belonging to these underrepresented sections. And over time, there have been a lot of different open source programs that have come up and are specifically made for the people from the underrepresented sections of the society. So one of them being the Rails World Summer of Code, which unfortunately got shut down last year, but hopefully it might be revised. Again, it is meant for the people from the underrepresented section of the society. Then we have outreach, which is currently going on mentorship program that provides three to four months of internship program with a stipend to a lot of different open source projects like Mozilla and Facial, a lot of different other organizations where the people from underrepresented parts of the technology can come and contribute to these projects. Then we have the Goal Script Summer of Code. And the main idea for all of them is to enhance and enable the people from the underrepresented sector of society to come and contribute to open source projects, real world open source projects that are being used by hundreds and thousands of millions of people. And their main goal is to present the ability for these underrepresented parts of society to come and contribute to these open source programs and learn. And again, basically to empowering the developer communities with open source. And that brings up to my end to my talk. You can connect with me on my LinkedIn at the Reshwai Lamba and Twitter at DridHowDevelop. Again, thank you so much for watching this talk. Again, stay tuned. Thank you so much.
