You want to give back to Drupal, but the contribution process feels intimidating — issue queues, merge requests, coding standards, credit rules, and the fear of getting it "wrong" in public. This session removes that fear. We'll walk through exactly what makes a contribution land — one maintainers actually want to merge — and show how AI tools can help you find the right issue, understand unfamiliar code, write standards-compliant patches, and craft clear issue comments. You'll leave with a concrete, repeatable path to your first (or next) credited contribution on Drupal.org.
