IT industry has been adjusted with Open Source, as first strategy

And where does innovation happens in Open Source ?

What role communities played in my career ?

What role a community can play in your career ?

• Satisfaction

• Get visibility

• Get the job you love

• Start something of you own

What stops us from being part of community ?

• Time commitment

• Company Culture

• Fear

• Don’t want to get out from comfort zone

A turtle only makes progress when it sticks its neck out.

How to get started ?

• Attend Meetups/Conferences

• Volunteer to do documentation

• Share more

• Blog

• Speak at meetups/conference

Build a brand for yourself

Things to keep in mind • Look at the larger picture, before selecting a project

• Be Open

• Follow community guidelines

• Be willing to take responsibilities

• Things take time

• There is very thin line between community and commercial interests

Business and commercial benefits are by-products of community

efforts

There are more good people to help, than we think !!
