DESCRIPTION:This hands-on workshop transforms learning about observability 
 into an engaging adventure!\n\nStep into a text-based game where you'll ma
 ster essential observability tools—metrics\, logs\, and traces—and dis
 cover how to leverage them effectively for real-world troubleshooting and 
 gaining critical insights into your applications.\n\nPowered by OpenTeleme
 try (OTel) and the Grafana stack\, this session provides a unique\, intera
 ctive environment to explore the critical components of a robust observabi
 lity strategy. You'll gain practical experience identifying\, understandin
 g\, and resolving complex system issues.\n\nWhether you're a developer\, o
 perator\, or just curious about understanding your system’s health\, you
 'll leave with a solid foundation on how OpenTelemetry and core observabil
 ity tools can empower you to solve complex problems confidently.\n\nYou're
  also welcome to work in pairs and collaborate on your observability adven
 ture!\n\nPre-requisites: Docker and Git are installed on your machine\, or
  access to a web browser to run the workshop on a Killercoda playground

DESCRIPTION:Thinking about contributing to an open source project? Does it 
 seem daunting\, or maybe you feel it's too late to start? You might be sur
 prised to learn how accessible it is—and how quickly you can make an imp
 act.\n\nIn this session\, I'll share my journey as a first-time contributo
 r to OpenTelemetry\, detailing how I went from no contributions to becomin
 g a project member in just one month. I'll provide a clear roadmap from in
 itial interest to a successful contribution\, giving you actionable tips o
 n finding the right project and tackling those "good first-time issues." W
 e'll explore the crucial role of mentorship and sponsorship\, especially f
 or individuals from underrepresented groups\, and how the supportive OpenT
 elemetry community can guide you through the process. And other communitie
 s will too.\n\nI aim to inspire you—whether you're from an underrepresen
 ted background or believe your chance to contribute has passed—to take t
 he plunge and discover the rewarding world of open source. You'll leave wi
 th actionable insights and the confidence to begin your contribution journ
 ey.
