Fireside Chat between Puja Jagani & Manoj Kumar
summary
A candid roadmap for becoming a Selenium committer with concrete steps and pitfalls explained: the first merged contribution is often small and practical as first merged commit was on observability, reviewers insist on correctness and tests, triage uses a needs-help tag and active Slack channels for mentorship, and long term work includes implementing the emerging BiDi bi‑directional WebDriver spec — code, docs or examples land and get thanked, heavy repos are intimidating but community review and TLC meetings distribute the backlog.
