being promoted across government institutions and within the private
sector. In this talk he will cover the who, what, where, why, and how’s
of open source based on his life experience. This talk will seek to
inform and recruit the audience to engage and contribute in open source
by providing answers to the simple questions. Together we will discuss
lowering the barrier to entry into the open source world. And if you’re
already contributing to open source then we will share life experiences
and camaraderie and plans to infect more people with the open source
bug.<div id="m_-1545836749958729706yui_3_16_0_1_1517707432345_9741"><br id="m_-1545836749958729706yui_3_16_0_1_1517707432345_9742"></div><div id="m_-1545836749958729706yui_3_16_0_1_1517707432345_9743">Bio</div>
