The document discusses developer tools that are helpful for contributing to open source software projects. It recommends using Linux, Git, GitHub, Vim text editor, Vagrant, Ansible, Makefiles, Travis CI, IRC chat, and OpenShift. The presentation provides an overview of the contributing process, which involves forking a project, reading documentation, running it locally, submitting code via pull requests, getting feedback, and merging changes. It also demonstrates some of the tools in action.

4. Context
Contributing to Open source is not just about the project and technology. It’s also
about community, respect and delivering the best solutions.
Choosing the most efficient algorithm, data structure and writing code while
following the best practices in the field, is not enough to deliver good quality
software (and fast).
Choosing the best tools will help you achieve better results, extending the benefits
to the contributors and project management.
