Hello World! How Microsoft's OSPO is Using Connected Learning to Teach Open Source Competencies.
summary
Uses a connected learning format to teach concrete skills: four initial one‑hour workshops (code of conduct enforcement, contributing on behalf of Microsoft, releasing a project, GitHub basics) split into short presentation, breakout problem solving, and shareouts. Runs as the open source maintainer learning series, with 28 sessions, about 1500 registrations 700 attendees, plus self‑study courses (GitHub 101, etiquette/code‑of‑conduct, mapping your open source career) and an onboarding project board that assigns incremental issues to new hires.
