Selenium Commiters Panel
summary
Panelists explain that Selenium is downloaded 110+ million times and note 300,000 legacy bindings still get pulled, spotlighting huge existing users. Concrete onboarding steps: run the tests continuously to find bugs, join IRC/Slack for real‑time help, or fix docs on GitHub. Becoming a committer requires hands‑on workshops (long waiting lists) and pairing; builds are notoriously tricky on Windows. Weird real uses include harvesting likes and scraping medical records. Conferences and outreach programs for diversity are active.
