sub0 Asia 2024 - Shawn Tabrizi (Polkadot Blockchain Academy)
summary
Polkadot SDK now lives in a merged monorepo merge while runtimes are extracted to separate repos, so contributors must target the right owner; fellowship runs ~76 members, cohorts get ~1,000 applicants, ~90 admitted, ~50% graduate and ~20 hired per cohort. Practical entry points are tests, benchmarks, and DX tasks (example issues: XCM regression tests and implementing AtLeast32BitSigned), split PRs into type/logic, write tests and docs, and reviewers sometimes award tips (~150 DOT).
