Q & A with the Selenium Committer's Panel

on YouTube ↗01h 02m

" summary

Live Q&A covers how people actually get started and stay contributing: first commits were docs or tiny fixes, reproduce issues and run the test suite to help triage, and steady 30–60 minute efforts beat burnout. Technical updates include BiDi/WebDriver work on GitHub and a public WG — join the W3C meetings — plus a planned summit to align Selenium with testing frameworks. Also discussed: realistic boundaries (Selenium = browser automation, not an all‑in‑one test runner) and quirky non‑test uses.
