3 Minutes With Kent

Super excited that my first pull request (https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/5940) to the ReactJS project (https://facebook.github.io/react/) was merged last night! It was based on this issue (https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/5939) I filed. So excited to have something I've done help the React community :-) Big thank you to Dan Abramov (https://github.com/gaearon), Paul O’Shannessy (https://github.com/zpao), Jim (https://github.com/jimfb), and Facebook Community Bot (https://github.com/facebook-github-bot) for iterating on the PR with me :-) In this show I give a few tips about contributing to open source projects and reference my (free) Egghead.io series: How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub (http://kcd.im/pull-request). Also check out my blogpost What open source project should I contribute to? (http://kcd.im/what-oss) This gives tips on how to identify how you can contribute.
