Open Source Education with Kunal Kushwaha

Kunal Kushwaha joins us on The Present Dev to discuss the future of open-source education, contribution, and community. “It’s not like you have to power a million folks, or a hundred thousand folks at once, if you can empower a few folks in the right way, then you can empower the world”, explains Kunal in his motivation behind building the most rapidly expanding developer education platform in the world: Community Classroom. We discuss how remote education is changing the human side of open source, making software maintenance more sustainable through globally equitable access to contribution. We dive into how you can get started with a public project on the open web, what that can mean for your career, and how it’s changing the way we understand the maintenance model of software. In this episode, you’ll be empowered with the knowledge of how and why you should get started with open source contributions today. Ultimately, Kunal leaves us with one, strong message: “With open-source, the only advice I can give you is to get started.” Listen today to find out what that means for you!
