DESCRIPTION:AI can generate code in seconds\, but contributing successfully
  to a real open-source project requires much more than producing a patch.\
 n\nIn this practical session\, we will walk through the journey from findi
 ng a GitHub issue to getting a pull request ready for review and merge. Us
 ing examples from the FOSSASIA eventyay project\, we will look at how AI c
 an help developers understand an unfamiliar codebase\, trace relevant code
  paths\, explore existing patterns\, draft changes and create tests.\n\nTh
 e session will also cover the parts that still require engineering judgmen
 t: choosing the right issue\, verifying the root cause\, keeping changes w
 ithin scope\, following project architecture\, testing real behavior and r
 esponding to maintainer feedback.\n\nThe goal is to show that you do not n
 eed to understand an entire large codebase before contributing. With the r
 ight workflow\, AI can significantly reduce the barrier to entry — while
  the contributor remains responsible for making the change correct\, maint
 ainable and useful to the project.\n\nParticipants will leave with a concr
 ete workflow they can use to start contributing to FOSSASIA and other open
 -source projects.
