Thank you for sharing, that’s impressive! I’m sure it was a great
experience for people taking part in the program. Thanks to everyone that
contributed.
I’m crossing my fingers for some of the participants to keep their interest
in Apache Airflow and more generally OSS now that the program has concluded.
The first steps are the hardest; now it’s all fun :)

Hello all,
I would like to share a brief update from the Open Source Contribution
Academy program that recently concluded.
Together with mentors Noeun Kim and Minseong Cho, we organized the program
for 26 participants, most of whom had little or no prior open source
contribution experience.
By the end of the program, all 26 participants had successfully contributed
to Apache Airflow, and contributions from every participant were merged.
A graph showing the cumulative contribution activity throughout the program
is available here:
https://discourse.airflow-kr.org/uploads/default/original/1X/8542343ff190c0e9a3a39c3bdb551325cf53447f.png
The blue line represents pull requests submitted by participants, while the
orange line represents pull request reviews contributed by participants.
Over the course of one month, participants submitted 97 pull requests and
contributed 66 reviews.
While these numbers do not tell the whole story, it was encouraging to see
this level of growth from a group that started with little prior
contribution experience.
Throughout the program, participants learned how to navigate the Airflow
contribution process, set up development environments using Breeze and
Prek, identify contribution opportunities, submit pull requests,
participate in code reviews, and follow changes through the merge and
release process.
As a result, contributions made during the program were included in the
Airflow 3.2.2 release.
More importantly, participants were able to experience firsthand how an
open source project operates and grows through contribution, review, and
collaboration.
I would also like to thank the Airflow community for welcoming new
contributors and helping review and merge their contributions.
26 people started the program, and 26 people became Apache Airflow
contributors.
Whether they continue contributing to Airflow or apply what they learned to
other open source projects, I hope this experience serves as the beginning
of a longer open source journey.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
Best regards,
Yeonguk

Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce that we will be participating in the 2026 Open
Source Contribution Academy(OSSCA) through the Apache Airflow project.
OSSCA is an open source mentoring program organized by the National IT
Industry Promotion Agency(NIPA) in Korea. Industry developers volunteer
as
mentors to help beginners and early-career developers learn Git-based
collaboration and gain their first experience contributing to open source
projects.
The Airflow Korea User Group is participating in OSSCA to help foster
open
source contribution culture in Korea. This mentoring program will be led
by
Minseong Cho, Noeun Kim, and myself.
The program runs for approximately six weeks, during which participants
will learn Git collaboration workflows and practice contributing to open
source projects.
This year’s OSSCA includes the following 15 projects:
* Apache Airflow
* Cilium
* eGovFrame VSCode Initializr
* GraphRAG
* GStreamer
* Guider (performance analysis application development)
* JavaScript open source contributions
* LitmusChaos
* LLM Journey with OLLAMA
* OpenStack
* Project Discovery
* PyTorch documentation localization
* RLTK open source library
* valkey
* Yocto Project
*Please note that this program is primarily intended for participants in
Korea, and mentoring sessions will mainly be conducted in Korean.*
If you know someone who may be interested in starting their open source
contribution journey, please feel free to share the application link
