Set up Eventyay: Docker Up, PR Out - Get Ready for Your First Contribution to a Real Django… (1/2)

Most first-time contributors never make it past setup. In this workshop, we set up together and then spend the session on real code in Eventyay, FOSSASIA's open source event platform. Conferences use it for ticketing, calls for speakers, schedules and online events.

You'll clone the repository and bring up the full stack with Docker Compose. This runs Django, PostgreSQL, Redis and Celery on your laptop, with sample data and live reload, so your changes show up instantly.

Next, you'll learn to find your way around a real Django + Vue codebase. We'll look at how the containers fit together, where the code behind each page lives, and how to read the logs. Then you'll pick a small issue prepared for this workshop, such as a template, text or UI fix. You'll create a branch, test your change and are ready for your first pull requests.

You'll leave with a working development setup, and a workflow you can reuse. Ready for more?

**Bring:** A laptop with Docker and Git installed, plus a GitHub account.

Speakers: Srivatsav Auswin, Saalim Aqueel, Arnav Angarkar, Om Vanwari, Mukund, Rachit, Saksham Sirohi
