This was a great presentation by PHP developer Steven Maguire. He talked about his goal to contribute to twelve open source projects in twelve months. He made numerous first pull requests which were rejected, but he kept trying. Once he discovered that there are certain standards and guides to submitting code, his requests started getting accepted. He recommended using trust-markers to validate your code and semantic versioning. He has now had thousands of downloads to his merges to open source projects and was invited to be a member of PHP league.
