Open source has long been a powerful entry point for those outside traditional tech hubs, offering a way for people—regardless of background—to contribute, learn, and build careers. It’s a space where fixing a typo in documentation can be the first step toward a full-time role in tech.
This is especially important as the industry faces ongoing skills shortages. Creating more pathways into tech isn’t just about diversity—it’s about ensuring innovation continues to thrive by tapping into talent wherever it exists.
