Your company has just started an open source project, but where is the community? This talk provides practical tips and suggestions along with what not to do when building a community around your company’s open source project. Building a community around your company’s open source project is no easy task, and there is no magic bullet or one size fits all solution. However, there are some things that you can do (or not do) to increase the chances of successfully building a community for your project. A few of the dos and don’ts covered in this talk include: * Planning and product management: Do use a transparent process in the open with tools that allow anyone to participate. Don’t use your internal tools and private meetings to make all of the decisions. * Encourage participation: Do be proactive about helping community members contribute in meaningful ways. Don’t inadvertently set the expectation that employees will be the ones always answering questions and making decisions. * Be honest: Do be honest with yourselves about where and how you prefer to have community members contribute. Don’t encourage people to contribute in areas where you are less likely to accept outside contributions. * Managing contributions: Do have enough people trained in how to provide constructive feedback to manage the flow of incoming community contributions. Don’t assume that your existing developers have the time and skills to magically perform this difficult function. The audience will walk away with practical advice about building communities for corporate open source projects.

Strategies to Balance the Needs of the Company and the Community

Dawn Foster

Collaboration within open source projects and other communities is becoming increasingly important for companies, but it can be difficult to strike the right strategic balance between the needs of the company and the community. This can create friction and put significant pressure on employees who participate on behalf of their company when the needs of the individual, the company, and the community are not strategically aligned. This talk will focus on ways to create this strategic alignment between individuals, companies, and the community to help all of us be successful together.

A Social Cloud for Public eResearch

Simon Caton

Scientific researchers faced with extremely large computations or the requirement of storing vast quantities of data have come to rely on distributed computational models like cloud computing. However, distributed computation is typically complex and expensive. The Social Cloud for Public eResearch aims to provide researchers with a platform to exploit social networks to reach out to users who would otherwise be unlikely to donate computational time for scientific and other research oriented projects. In this paper we explore the motivations of users to contribute computational time and examine the various ways these motivations can be catered to through established social networks. We specifically look at integrating Facebook and BOINC, and discuss the architecture of the functional system and the novel social engineering algorithms that power it.

GitHub API 101 with Python and Jupyter Notebooks

All Things Open

Presented at All Things Open 2022 Presented by Dawn Foster Title: GitHub API 101 with Python and Jupyter Notebooks Abstract: The GitHub APIs are powerful tools for accessing data about your open source projects, and they are easier to use than many people realize. While you can perform data analysis that requires advanced skills, you can also gather some very useful information quickly and easily with just a bit of knowledge about the API and some basic Python programming skills. The talk assumes that audience members have already installed and used Jupyter Notebooks and Python. Since this is an introductory 101 talk, the focus will be on the GitHub REST API (v3), but the GraphQL API (v4) will also be discussed. This talk will use Jupyter Notebooks and Python to cover: * Getting started: documentation, authentication, personal access tokens, and ethical use * Demo: gathering data about users (employer, email, orgs, bio, type, …) * Demo: getting data about organizations (description, creation date, … * Demo: accessing data about repositories (last updated, open issues / PRs, license, …) * Pros and cons of using the REST API and the GraphQL API with a simple GraphQL demo. The audience will walk away with an understanding of how to use the GitHub API to gather some basic information along with the link to a GitHub repository containing the notebooks, demos, and other materials from the session.

Network analysis: People and open source communities

Dawn Foster

Data and code: https://github.com/geekygirldawn/oscon_2015 The real magic in any community comes from the people. I will show you tools and techniques for performing network analysis, to look at the people in your community along with the relationships between them. Why settle for boring numbers and line charts to describe your community when you can do cool visualizations that show how people connect within your open source community?

Building a Community Metrics Strategy FOSDEM 2019

Dawn Foster

You probably know that community metrics are important, but how do you come up with a plan and figure out what you want to measure? Most open source projects have a very diverse community infrastructure with some combination of code repositories, chat, mailing lists, wikis, forums, and more. Deciding where to focus and what to measure across these many technologies can be a challenge. What you measure can have a huge impact on behavior within the community, and you want to make sure that you are encouraging people to contribute in sane ways by measuring the activities that matter for your project. This presentation will cover how you decide what to measure and provide some examples.

The unbridled success of Kubernetes can be attributed in part to being in the CNCF. Putting Kubernetes under a neutral foundation provided a level playing field where each of us could contribute, collaborate, and innovate as equals to create a widely adopted solution that we can all use. Open source projects that are controlled by a single company are at a greater risk of changes that are not aligned with community interests, whereas projects that are under neutral foundations have a lower risk both for end users and software vendors. With advantages that include community building, innovation, and wider adoption, we should consider contributing more of our open source projects to neutral foundations, like the CNCF. The audience will get practical advice about whether they should contribute their projects to neutral foundations along with how and when to do it.

Is this Open Source Project Healthy or Lifeless?

All Things Open

Presented by: Dawn Foster, VMware Presented at All Things Open 2020 Abstract: Most of us bet large parts of our business on open source technologies, but how do we decide which projects will continue to be healthy and viable? While there are no sure bets, there are ways we can evaluate these projects to understand our risks and decide which projects are likely to be successful. This talk will propose questions to ask and how to interpret the answers, including: * Does the project make regular releases and quickly patch security vulnerabilities? These projects may be more secure. * Is the project under a foundation, or is it owned by a company? Company owned projects are at a greater risk of changes that are not aligned with community interests. * How is the project governed, and can others move into leadership positions? Having neutral, preferably elected, leadership provides opportunities for you to influence project decision-making. * How many people are core contributors, and are they from a diverse set of employers? There should be enough people that the project would continue if something happened to a single person or company. The audience will walk away with practical advice about how to assess risk and evaluate projects for your organization.

Abstract: Social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have become common place for personal use, but how do we leverage these free tools to not only connect with our clientele but promote Extension to new audiences. Currently, there are 25 million Twitter accounts, over 500 million active Facebook users and 2 billion videos watched daily on YouTube, therefore, it makes sense for Extension to have a presence where users are spending time. For Extension personnel, understanding the benefits and learning the uses of social media tools is a tremendous opportunity to transition our past outreach excellence into a new, non-traditional format for the future. Join us to learn how to engage your clients, colleagues and supporters in social networks as well as exposure Extension content to a new demographic.

Be a Good Corporate Citizen in Kubernetes

Dawn Foster

As an employee, it can be difficult to strike the right balance between the needs of the company and the needs of the open source Kubernetes project. This can create friction and put significant pressure on employees who participate in Kubernetes on behalf of their company when the needs of the individual, the company, and the community are not aligned. This talk will focus on ways to create this alignment between individuals, companies, and the community required to be successful participants in Kubernetes.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome to Become a Conference Speaker!

Dawn Foster

The goal of this talk is to provide some resources to help everyone feel included and welcome as a conference speaker. Open source conferences are always striving to increase the diversity of their speakers by recruiting new speakers and encouraging people from underrepresented groups to submit talks. But how do you decide what topic to cover? What can you do to help your topic stand out? How do you prevent imposter syndrome from getting in the way of your success as a speaker? You do not need to be the world’s leading expert on a topic to give a presentation. You just need to know a few things that can help other people learn enough about the topic to get started. By bringing your authentic voice and unique perspective to the topic, people will walk away from your talk with new insights that they wouldn’t get from another speaker. This talk will cover: Selecting a topic and a conference for your topic. Writing a title and abstract that will increase the chances of your talk being accepted. The importance of your bio during the talk selection process. Tips for writing and preparing your presentation. The audience will walk away with practical advice about writing and submitting talk proposals along with some tips for delivering a successful presentation.

Collaboration in Linux Kernel Mailing Lists

Dawn Foster

While there is quite a bit of data about the people and companies who commit Linux kernel code, there isn’t much data about how people work together on the kernel mailing lists where they decide what patches will be accepted. Using a few of the top subsystem mailing lists as examples, Dawn Foster will share her PhD research into how people collaborate on the kernel mailing lists, including network visualizations of mailing list interactions between contributors. You can expect to learn more about the people, their employers, and other data that impacts how people participate on the mailing lists. For example, do timezones influence collaboration? How about source code contributions? Dawn will also give a brief overview of her 20+ year career both before and after going back to school to get her PhD along with some information about her involvement in OpenUK.

How to be a terrible hiring manager

Dawn Foster

Bad hiring managers refer to massive lists of nice-to-haves as requirements, which encourages incompetent blowhards to apply. They hire ninjas who sneak around and rock stars with huge egos. Over Dawn’s 20+ year career in technology and OSS, she has seen many terrible hiring practices at various tech companies. This Ignite talk is a slightly snarky view into what it takes to be a terrible hiring manager.

A week in the Life of Kubernetes

Dawn Foster

Joint talk at KubeCon San Diego 2019 with Jorge Castro. You’re new to Kubernetes and interested in contributing, but when you start poking through the community pages, you find a bunch of SIGs and so many meetings. What’s a SIG? Where should you start? Which meetings should you attend? How can you participate? In this talk, Jorge and Dawn from SIG Contributor Experience will live out a week within the Kubernetes community by walking the audience through what happens in this busy community. As part of the day by day tour of the community, we will cover: * Getting started and locating meeting calendars * Finding and participating in SIGs * Attending meetings and what to expect * How to get involved * Where to get help New contributors, users interested in contributing, engineering managers whose teams are contributing, and anyone interested in learning about new ways to get involved in the Kubernetes community will benefit from attending.

Open Source Collaboration: Finding the right balance

Dawn Foster

Collaboration within open source projects is becoming increasingly important for most companies, but it can be difficult to strike the right balance between the needs of the company and the open source project. Dawn Foster works on open source software strategy at Pivotal and has 20+ years of experience leading open source software initiatives at companies like Puppet Labs, Intel, and Jive Software. Her talk will focus on how companies can develop a successful strategy for participation and collaboration in open source projects, including how to be a good corporate citizen.

Understanding Collaboration in Fluid Organizations, a Proximity Approach

Dawn Foster

Dawn Foster, Guido Conaldi, Riccardo De Vita University of Greenwich Centre for Business Network Analysis http://www.gre.ac.uk/business/research/centres/cbna/home Presented at the Third European Conference on Social Networks (EUSN) Mainz, Germany on 27 September 2017 This study investigates collaboration in an open source software community using proximity theory as the theoretical lens with social network analysis and modeling of activities over time to predict collaboration. Actors in this study are part of the Linux kernel community where they collaborate on one or more sub-projects using mailing lists as the primary method of collaboration. Collaboration occurs in real-time between actors that contribute to multiple sub-projects, work for firms that pay them to contribute to the Linux kernel, and are working virtually from locations across the globe. This complex setting can be better understood by using several dimensions of proximity: organizational, cognitive, institutional, social, and geographical. Collaboration is analysed using data from source code contributions and mailing list participation. Open source software is developed in the open where anyone can view the source code and anyone with the knowledge to do so can contribute to the project. With no central group responsible for coordination of tasks, collaboration on the development of this software is emergent. Because people from around the world work on these projects together using online tools with publicly accessible interactions between people, it is a relevant setting for using social network analysis to understand and model network relationships.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️

Łukasz Chruściel

No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception. In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed. We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
