<p>Development sprint events are a great way for you to meet and <em>actually</em> work with experienced developers on interesting projects. More than often, conference development sprint events are where many new people start making their name working on open source projects. It&#8217;s a great place to start if you have ever thought of contributing to Open Source projects, but did not know where to start.</p>
