Do you want to contribute to the OpenTelemetry project yourself? Have you ever wondered how decisions are made in an open-source project that a global foundation like the Linux Foundation or the CNCF runs? This talk is for you!

The OpenTelemetry community is a group of individuals developing and maintaining one of CNCF's most active open-source projects.

This talk will provide an overview of the different roles and responsibilities within the community and an understanding of how decisions are made and how to get involved in the community through meetings and discussions.

This talk is intended for anyone interested in learning more about the OpenTelemetry community and how to become an influential community member.
