<div class="bio">Richard delivers rich, immersive experiences that delight and educate. He has spoken at ~34 conferences across 17 countries, including !!Con, OCSON, and RubyConf. His philosophy, "You can't learn if you're not paying attention," produces talks that are a fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Richard is the author of "How to Open Source" (dot dev) and the creator of CodeTriage.com. A free, open source tool that helps coders get started contributing. He is a Ruby core contributor and author of the `syntax_suggest`, which helps developers find and fix Ruby syntax errors. He writes Rust full-time for his job at Heroku, where he maintains the Ruby Cloud Native Buildpack (CNB). Oh, and he's married to Ruby, literally.</div>

<h2 class="mt-4">Abstract</h4>
<div class="abstract pb-4"><p>Maintainers all over the world are loaded. They're loaded with tech debt, support requests, and a million things to do each and every day. In this talk, we'll learn about actionable strategies for lightening their loads. And the beauty of the situation: they'll never see it coming.
A lot of open source talks end with "Contributing to open source is great. Good luck." So now what? That's where this talk comes in. If you know a coder willing to contribute but not ready or able, then this talk is for you.
We do this 'one last job' before I retire, and we'll be rolling in the green stuff. That's right. We're talking open source commits on GitHub 🟩. Join the crew. This is one heist you won't want to miss.</p></div>
