This may be a different keynote than you are accustomed to. Talking Drupal is a discussion, and that's what we are having today.
Today we are talking about Non-Code Contribution: Using your passion and skills to power open source.
What is contribution in an open-source project?
Providing your time, skills or resources to benefit the project
Today we're talking about non code contributions
Early on contribution was considered writing code
Over time we have learned to value non-code contributions just as much as code contrib
Rather than defining non-code contribution by what it is not, we need a term to define it by what it is
Community is built in meetups, camps, and cons
Majority of contribution has nothing to do with coding at a camp
- Attending
- Speaking
- Training
- Organizing
Organizing a camp (NEDCamp.org / Nov 19th)
