Free, open source software is software that is shared freely and is available to build upon. It is an appropriate way to apply your skills to useful projects and social causes. You can participate by writing or reviewing code, answering users' questions, translating the interface to another interface, making video tutorials to help new users, and myriad other ways. Open source software is often produced by lots of people collaborating across cities and countries, and this event specially welcomes newbees to that style of producing software.
Open source participation is one way to gain myriad skills and make connections that will last you through your career. Volunteer staff will include professionals and academics who use open source daily.
This tutorial was put together by Shauna Gordon-McKeon and Asheesh Laroia of OpenHatch. We're a non-profit that helps people get involved in open source. We especially like running events on college campuses. You can learn more.
