# How to Organize an Open Source Sprint

By Julia Meinwald

4-
I work at Two Sigma as an Open Source Coordinator, so part of my job is getting more people at the company to try contributing to Open Source. One way we've done this is to host an annual event that we call TS Open. (Internally we call it the TS Open hackathon, but I've learned that others who host similar events call them sprits, so that's the term I'll use here.) I recently attended the NumFOCUS Unconference on Diversity and Inclusion, where I got to chat with a bunch of other people about similar events they've hosted at their companies. These sprints are a great way to widen the pool of Open Source contributors. Below are a few quick guidelines for setting up your own!

### What is an Open Source sprint?
77
An Open Source sprint is a short event, typically lasting 1-2 days, where groups of people get together to work on one Open Source project. This generally means adding content and fixing bugs for the project. There will typically be TAs from the project community to help out, answer questions, and facilitate the acceptance of the contributions in a timely manner. Seasoned OSS contributors benefit from the dedicated time to work on a project they care about, newer members of the commmunity benefit from structure and guidance for their early contributions, and the project benefits from the TLC!
