7:20 OpenHatch.org: An Open-Source Involvement Engine
presented by Parker Phinney
Parker Phinney (Dartmouth '12) has just returned to campus after
spending the Winter working for the Philadelphia-based startup
company OpenHatch.org. OpenHatch is an "open source involvement
engine"--a community website that aims to make open source
software development more approachable, friendly, and fun!
Parker will talk about some specific areas where participating
in open source seems less fun or less exciting, and the things
that OpenHatch is doing to remedy them. He wants to hear YOUR
feedback about what you think that open source is missing and
what sorts of features you would like to see from a site like
OpenHatch.org. Also, time permitting, Parker may talk about Pair
Programming and the other Extreme Programming techniques that he
learned about while working at OpenHatch.
8:50 New York Minute
By popular request: bring your ideas, questions, advertisements,
job offers/searches, etc., we'll go 'round the horn and make
introductions and announcements.
