I’m doing a tech talk at PSU about open source community:<\/p>\n

TOPIC
\nCollaborative chaos: what it means to write code, manage projects and work with people in open source communities<\/p>\n

SUMMARY
\nWorking in software and with computers means wildly different things depending on who you talk to. In open source, the work spans every aspect of software development — from the marketing and documentation to the troubleshooting end-user systems.<\/p>\n

The “community manager” or “organizer” role in open source communities is probably the least-well defined in our industry, but is seen as a crucial part of open source software development.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Selena will talk about her work as a serial user group starter, open source conference circuit speaker, conference organizer and contributor to PostgreSQL — all roles considered part of community management. She’ll also talk about other kinds of community management roles available at small and large companies, or as a volunteer in an open source project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
