Writing daily progress updates is one of the most skipped habits in open source, yet it's how maintainers and mentors see what you're working on. Scrum Helper is FOSSASIA's open source browser extension that turns your GitHub activity (pull requests, issues and reviews) into a ready-to-send progress report in seconds. In this lightning talk, we show how it works, how FOSSASIA contributors use it to keep projects transparent, and how you can contribute to the extension yourself.
