Speaker
Description
Growing new talent and attracting new developers is challenging for open source communities. Yet, it is vital to reach out to train the next generation of developers to keep the open source communities healthy and sustainable.
Equitable access to learning resources is a barrier for a significant number of new developers. It isn't easy for new developers to get a start in open source, connect with open source communities and contribute to them. It is equally challenging for employers to find new developers to add to their technical projects.
Shuah Khan will talk about Linux Foundation's six year journey to provide learning resources for new open source developers, opportunities to experts in open source communities to train and mentor the next generation, and make newly trained talent available to prospective employers.
