When starting to contribute to LLVM knowing the technical steps and especially the community habits can make the first (and upcoming) contribution a lot easier and the contribution process will become a more positive experience. This talk will discuss technical points such as your first patch for LLVM, how to get +w permissions, the various workflows, but also more soft skills such as 'how can I find a reviewer for my patch', 'should I review patches myself', or 'what is this the right strategy to add a larger feature to LLVM'?
