The organisers explicitly say novice Scala developers are welcome and answer that question directly in the event FAQ.\n\nWhy go: contributing to a library you already depend on, with its maintainers and users in the room, is the fastest way to understand it, and the open door for beginners makes this a low-risk first open-source contribution.
