misconception that just because your code is public on GitHub that it is
open source, but unless there is a license in your codebase, then it is
by default copyrighted. This talk will cover an introduction to
copyright, open source, the types of open source licenses, how to go
about choosing an open source license for your project, and why should
you choose to open source your project.<br><br>The Hitchhiker's Guide to Markdown<br>Markdown
is the most commonly used lightweight markup language on the internet.
However, lately it has been adopted by the technical writing community
as a solution for writing documentation. This has made a lot of people
very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.<br><br>Bio:<br></span></span></span></span></span><div><span><span><span><span><span>Sean
Marquez graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in
design of dynamic systems, from UC Irvine. During his undergrad, he
project managed a CubeSat program where he developed a passion for space
exploration. He worked for an OEM aerospace consulting firm for over a
year as an associate mechanical design engineer. In 2015, he joined and
collaborated with an online team, performing numerical simulations &
control systems design, for rLoop – a non-profit global think tank that
won the innovation award for the first SpaceX hyperloop pod
competition. Sean is currently a worker-owner at Space Cooperative Inc.,
involved with development and testing of smart contracts to be utilized
by the Space Decentral network, collaborating on Coral - an open source
robotic space mission to mine lunar regolith for in-situ resource
utilization, and leading efforts on the adoption of the Model-Based
Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div><br><div><br>Lan<br></div></div><span><br></span></div></body></html>
