Beyond the good first issue - How to make your contributions sustainable


Summary

This article emphasizes that contributing to OpenTelemetry (and large open-source projects) is about more than just submitting code. It highlights the importance of understanding the broader ecosystem, community dynamics, and finding ways to engage beyond simply completing a "good first issue."
