I would like to divide it into two parts -
- First part would be about:
- Showcasing the story of how the open source project OMRChecker grew from a college project into a thesis project, and now a top Github repository for the 'omr' topic with 650+ stars and an active discord community of 350+ people from 16+ countries.
- Essential things to do for a steady organic growth of visitors and contributors for your project.
- It covers things like good readme/wiki documentation, SEO, well defined issues, etc

- The thinking process and decisions behind creating a free open source software that could have been sold off instead. This can be a healthy debate topic.
- Second part would be about:
- An interactive session teaching the audience hands-on on basics of image processing and how it is used for solving a real world use case (OMR Checking)
- Highly visual understanding about what happens under the hood in OMRChecker.

Based on the time provided, the second part can be converted into a separate workshop or a separate talk for later if enough people get interested.
