Microsoft has embraced open source in a big way, and is one of the biggest organisations on GitHub, but that size can be imposing to outsides who want to contribute, but don't know where to start.

In this session I will take you through my personal journey from external user, to Microsoft employee working on the Roslyn team, and tell you how my personal attitude towards open source was changed by contributing. You'll also get some tips and tricks to demystify the process and hopefully encourage you to make your first contributions, whether it be contributing source code or something else entirely.
