# GitHub Stream Team Notes

###### tags: `Events`

For our conversation, I'd like to hear -


**Your goal from streaming.**

This should be 2-3 sentences on why you are excited to stream. Is there a specific tech area you'd like to learn more about by talking with industry experts? Do you want to build a personal brand and connect with potential employers? Just have fun or get more experience with public speaking? Any and all goals are valid as long as the motivations are thought through.


**An overview of your show.**

Our show will be called source explorer, and in this show we visit open source repositories to ask maintainers to introduce us to their source code and community development practises. 

We believe that this show is valuable for:

- Repository maintainers because their open source repository is promoted
- Eager contributors because they get a video walk-through of the CodeBase and introduction to the community
- The overall open source ecosystem because there will be greater awareness around the development practises of open source repositories, and the best practises can be presented before a wider audience

Since we're a Pakistani-Canadian team, we would like to create both English and Urdu/Hindi(Both languages are the same when spoken) to reach a wider audience!


**An outline of your first stream.**

An outline from the run-of-show to the questions and conversations you'll have 😁 What is your goal for the audience (to educate, entertain, inspire - or all three!) and the takeaway they will leave with? This can be theoretical! No need to actually reach out to potential guests.

Some of the questions we will ask are:

What's your background in OSS development and how did you get started with this project. 
What is your tech stack?
How can a new contributor start helping around the repository?
What is something interesting about your repository?
Where can a new contributor visit to engage with other community members of the Repository.
How can university students get involved?
What is the greatest challenge about maintaining this repository?
What are some sample issues we can look at and discuss?


# Brainstorming

**Is there a specific tech area you'd like to learn more about by talking with industry experts?**

I would like to speak with industry experts about the difficulties in managing large open source projects that have hundreds or thousands of issues. How do They manage contributions from people with diverse programming backgrounds and inconsistent schedules. 

The answer that we've come up with so far is to leverage University project courses in engineering and computer science programs to create open source apprenticeship programs where students can gain real world development experience and organizations can get consistent contributions from growing developers. 

Universities hold valuable currency in that they can offer credits towards graduation. We propose bringing together all of these conditions, and we envision that by this September semester, hundreds of students will be apprenticing at Open source repositories around the world that need issues resolved and code written. 

**Do you want to build a personal brand and connect with potential employers?**

We would like to build our brand to be associated with high-quality open software products and education. 

In order to aim for the kind of excellence we're looking for, we want to present a brand of continuous seeking and learning to find the best ways to develop software. 

**Just have fun or get more experience with public speaking? Any**

We are passionate about software development and software education. This opportunity would not only be delightful but also a great step in our development as educators because this experience would increase our software knowledge and public speaking ability.
