pyOpenSci also lead 2 sprints at pyCon! On Sunday we lead a [mentored sprint](https://www.mentored-sprints.dev/). If you haven't heard of mentored sprints, they are an
147+
amazing format that allows those who are newer to contributing to open source
148+
to get support in the contribution process.

At the mentored sprints I was grateful to have [Luiz Irber](https://github.com/luizirber) and [David Nicholson](https://github.com/NickleDave) supporting
151+
the (larger-than-expected) group! Luiz served as editor for pyOpenSci years ago
152+
during one of our very first reviews. And David is now our editor in chief of
153+
pyOpenSci.
154+
155+
We had a full table plus an overflow table of
156+
people who wanted to contribute! And each of them was able to contribute (many
157+
for their very first time!!). It was awesome.

It was incredible. The people at the sprint were not the people who I expected.

Many of them had significant technical skills and backgrounds. But many of them
159169
also had never committed to an open source project. Perhaps they had used subversion
160170
but not git / GitHub. Perhaps they knew python well but didn't know where to start
161171
in terms of contributing.

In total we ended up with 8 pull requests submitted during the sprints and 2
169174
others submitted after. Every pull request was from a new contributor to
170175
pyOpenSci. And also they were mostly made by those new to contributing in general.
