How We Communicate: Why Bloggers (Even Non-Programmers) Benefit from Participating in Open Source Projects

Open source projects are a source of opportunity. Skill development, networking, career opportunities, confidence-building...you name it. A lot of us don't really know how these projects work, and we don't really know whether there's a way for us to participate if we're not actual code jockeys. This session will evangelize getting involved, at some level, with the one or more of the many open source projects out there. Join Technetra CEO, Alolita Sharma, Freebase community director Kirrily Robert and Mozilla.org's Chief Lizard Wrangler Mitchell Baker for this practical, and hopefully inspiring, session.
