Embark on a journey with Scaladex, the website where open-source Scala
libraries are indexed and the project that ignited my passion for Scala. In this talk, I’ll unveil its magic—from a live demo to the fascinating stories behind the code—and share my mentoring experience with Google Summer of Code 2024. I’m uniquely positioned to guide you through Google Summer of Code. With my experience as a Scala developer at Sky and my role as a GSoC 2024 mentor on the Scaladex and Scala CLI projects, I bring valuable insights into contributing to open source. As the org admin for Scala Center’s GSoC 2025 program, I can offer insider knowledge on exciting projects and effective strategies. Join me to discover how you can make a meaningful impact in the Scala and functional programming community and make the most of this fantastic learning opportunity.
