QtCS2021 - Improve the contributor experience

Session Summary

Back in 2019 we had the discussion around the contribution experience, from which we gather many good ideas: some of them were never addressed, but others have been implemented, like for example the Qt project website and the Community Manager position that was open.

This session will try to address many of the open topics we had from that session looking at "What we could do" to keep improving the experience in topics like:

• What we can learn from the KDE contribution experience
• First contribution and initial setup
• Gerrit improvements, plugins, etc
• Creation of "good first issues" in JIRA
• ...and all the good ideas you probably have.

Update: Together with Eddy, we had a session on how to contribute to Qt, I recommend you to quickly check the slides (there are some videos with audio in the middle), so you can get some ideas on steps we could improve: https://qtinfo.dev/akademy2021_contribute/
