 אני אוריאל פרום איזרל, ואני רוצה להסתכל על איזרלי-אופן-סורסת-קומינטי, זאת אומרת מרקאף. אני לא עובד enough sure about my English, so I just wrote what I'm going to say. And if you have a question, just join to the Discord channel and we can speak there. So what I'm going to tell you is I put the file, the PDF file in the session and you can also get it from there. So let me begin by sharing a personal story, a story of why Markov that can be translated to Bypass came to be. Not too long ago, I was in the shoes of many aspiring programmers, a job-seeker eager to find my place in the tech world. Like many of you, I received advice from well-meaning mentors and colleagues, and one piece of advice stood out, contribute to open source. It seemed like a path paved with opportunity, a way to enhance my skills and connect with a thriving community. But as I dipped my toes into the world of open source, I found myself facing daunting question. How can a beginner programmer like me effectively contribute to open source projects? I felt like trying to unlock a door without the right key. Then something changed. In February, I had a spark of inspiration. I thought what if there was a place where beginners like me could come together, learn and collaborate on open source projects. That day, I posted a basic idea on LinkedIn and that was the genesis of Markov. Little did I know that this idea would grow into a vibrant collaborative community that we are here to discuss today. Okay. Targeting job-seekers has to take its approach. When considering our target audience, we recognize a unique group that helped potential to drive our community's growth job-seekers. This group has distinct advantages, time and hunger to prove themselves. I like seasoned developers who are often preoccupied with their current roles. Job-seekers possess the freedom to invest time in meaningful contributions, but it's not just about time. It's also about motivation. Job-seekers have vested interest in enhancing their skill sets and bolstering their resumes. Contributing to open source not only showcases their abilities, but also paints them as proactive problem solvers and team players. The same qualities employers seek in potential candidates. Building the foundation, active participants. Our journey began by rallying a core group of active participants who shared a passion for open source. This step, while challenging, laid the groundwork for our community's success. These individuals became the driving force behind our efforts, cultivating an environment of learning, collaboration and mutual support. Today, our community boasts more than 1,300 participants in our Discord server, all eager to learn, grow and contribute. Dozens of programmers managed to contribute for the first time to open source thanks to the community. Collaboration with open source projects. With foundation of active participants, we ventured into the second stage, engaging with open source project maintainers. This step proved pivotal. By offering a platform to showcase their projects, we not only provided them visibility, but also extended the invitation to our community members to contribute. We are proud to have more than 20 projects under the MAACAF umbrella, and what's even more remarkable is that our jobseeker members receive valuable code reviews from senior developers who are the maintainers of these projects. These contributions often initiated by our jobseeker members created win-win scenario. Developers gained real-world experience and added project to the portfolio, while maintainers benefited from increased activity and improvement of their projects. Merging careers and community is a role of recruiters. As our community matured, we recognized the potential it held for both jobseekers and employers. This realization marked the third stage of our journey, collaborating with recruiters. By actively participating in our community, recruiters could identify promising talent and leverage the community's activity, find exceptional programmers worthy of employment. In October, we will hold our first meetup aimed at recruiters and explaining the opportunity of recruiting talented programmers through our community. Nothing expanding the vision globally, but our dream extends beyond Israel's borders. We envision the creation of similar communities in other regions around the world. Our hope is to start with one English-speaking community and then spread the idea to other countries. I cannot do this alone, but if anyone hearing this short session is inspired to take on this mission, you are most welcome. I am committed to providing support and guidance to help you get started. Furthermore, I extend to an open invitation, as you can see here, to all of you to join the English Channel within our Israeli community. Together, we can contribute foster collaboration, share knowledge, and drive innovation on a global scale. In conclusion, our experience with MAACAF demonstrates the power of community-driven initiatives in the tech world by strategically targeting job seekers fostering collaboration among active participants, connecting with open-source projects and integrating recruiters with cultivated an ecosystem that thrives on shared knowledge, personal growth, and professional advancement. As you reflect on joining us on this adventure, consider the impact you can make by harnessing the collective power of individuals striving to enhance their skills. Support each other and contribute to open-source projects. Together, we can pave the way for a better onboarding to open-source world. Thank you for listening. Any questions, you are welcome to the Discord server and be in touch. Also, I printed if someone wants what I said. Thank you.
