At BSDCan 2026, we spoke with Sarah, a software engineering student at the University of Ottawa and an up-and-coming open source contributor.

Sarah recently made her first open source contribution and attended BSDCan to learn more about FreeBSD, connect with the community, and explore new opportunities to get involved.

What advice would you give someone who is new to FreeBSD or making their first open source contribution?
