All Things Open 2018 - Lightning talk

Next week I'll be in Raleigh, North Carolina from Oct 21-23 speaking at All Things Open.

I mentioned my session was accepted, but just last week the organizers reached out to ask if I'd be interested in giving a lighting talk.

That's a short five minute slot to rapidly brief the crowd on a topic before the next speaker is brought on behind you.

I thought it would be a bit of fun to participate and gladly accepted.

The following topic is near and dear to my heart, so as a lightning talk it'll be fun to try to hook the audience into more by following up on the information presented.

Catch me doing my best to jump start your career in open source, inside the limits of a #lightning talk at #AllThingsOpen Tue, 23 Oct. Catch the other speakers too while you're there! @ben_nuttall, @LaurenMaffeo, @gwaldo, @linsun_unc, and @ChrisInDurham https://t.co/2vTmYMT4bU

Lightning Talk - How to Jump Start a Career in Open Source

It's not magic. It's not luck. It's not going to happen by itself, so what's the secret sauce? Understanding what makes a career in open source grow, what choices are crucial, and what actions accelerate or damage your open source future are sometimes hard to grasp. Learning to position, expand and grow your personal brand in the open source world is what this session provides. Be ready for your next step in open source.

Date: Tuesday, OCT 23
Time: 12:45 PM, local time
Room: main stage in Ballroom B on 4th floor of the Raleigh Convention Center.


All lightning talks will be recorded for future playback on the Opensource.com YouTube channel. Live stream will not be available for this event.

Hope to see you there!
