Open Source Your Career

Fast-track your professional development with community involvement

With words like community bandied about, what can the individual gain in professional terms from getting involved in extra-curricular activities? Come and hear tales from someone who has almost accidentally benefitted from her community activities about what drives her to get involved and how this has crossed over into her day job. Everyone will take home from this session some new ideas about how giving can actually be receiving, and strategies for situations where everyone wins.
