summary
Runs 7 sessions in 3 years at Japanese events and online, using the kubernetes-sigs/contributor-playground sandbox so trainees can make real PRs; online Zoom meetings scale to a maximum of 43 trainees and produce a significantly higher PR-merge rate than in-person. Training uses JP Slack channels for live reviews, a stepwise checklist (GitHub account, clone playground, sign CLA via EDC array), hands-on exercises that end in a first merged PR, and follow-up mentoring to sustain contributions.
