Keynote: A New Adventure Is Born: How Open Source Dinos Unite
summary
A playful persona system maps seven OSS roles — Apprentice Rex, Bang-Your-Head-asaurus, Tarot Python Party-dactyl, etc. — to concrete community practices: apprenticeship programs, pairing, live-stream tutorials, code of conduct, funding audits, and KPI-driven health checks (monthly new-contributor counts, PSF election dates: nominations close June 15, voting June 20–30). Examples: use python manage.py check for project sanity, Wagtail focuses on a Zero-to-Hero funnel, VS Code Django IntelliSense is prioritized, and Microsoft live streams for onboarding prove effective at raising beginner retention.
