About
Ramya talked about her journey into the FOSS ecosystem, and specifically the Open Street Map (OSM) ecosystem. She talked about diversity in the OSM community and how programs like Outreachy help improve diversity in the FOSS ecosystems. She highlighted the different ways to contribute to FOSS projects, and how the "Servant Leadership" philosophy is especially relevant in the FOSS ecosystem, especially for organization-backed FOSS projects. Finally, she shared her thoughts on how to evaluate FOSS projects before engaging with them, understanding how active the projects are by looking at activity on the projects, etc - and how tools like https://ossinsight.io/ help evaluate project activity.
You can reach out to her on LinkedIn or via the projects that she maintains on GitHub.
