This presentation is centered on initiative and where a judge can expend it. We are going to discuss Judge Projects, draw parallels to open source projects and see what people can offer and gain from such activities. We will be speaking about the more popular and the more famous Projects, such as the Annotated IPG team or the teams behind [O] blogs. Our focus is not only projects though. We will also analyze what an active judge can do for his/her community on a local level. This is not meant to be a one-man-show, but rather, an exchange of ideas and why not - positive promises!
