5 Years, 10 Sprints, A scikit-learn Open Source Journey (Keynote)
summary
Five years and about ten sprints iterate into a tested process: organize application forms and prep checklists, run pair programming and pre/post office hours, produce short how-to videos and translations, and curate beginner-friendly GitHub issues; those changes push a majority of sprint PRs to completion, produce 3.7k video views and 1.4k and 5.6k collateral views, attract 30–45 participants per event, and seed roughly 200–400 long‑term contributors.
