Money, Money, Money

At PyCon AU 2015, and again at DjangoCon US 2015, I gave a talk entitled "Money Money Money: Writing software, in a rich (wo)man's world". The talk was a summary of the issues around one of the biggest problems that I see facing the open source community: how to provide the resources that are needed to develop and maintain the software that we, as a community depend upon. This means providing maintenance and support for established projects, large and small; but also providing an ecosystem where new ideas can be incubated, developed and matured until they present compelling alternatives or significant benefits over closed source offerings.

Tips for Becoming a Core Contributor

At PyCon US 2016, Philip James became a Core Contributor to BeeWare!

He wrote up some of his thoughts about the process in his article Tips for Becoming a Core Contributor.

Katie McLaughlin, who got her commit bit at DjangoCon Europe 2016, followed up with a post of her own, describing her path to becoming a core contributor.

For those who aspire to become contributors to open source projects, it's helpful to hear how others got there.
