ApacheCon 2016

A robust Apache community has provided software developers with a one stop show for quality open source software. Great software requires a healthy community. How can we continue to ensure that the Apache community continues to grow and thrive? By continuing to bring great people into projects as contributors, committers, and members of course! But wait ... how do we do that? This talk focuses on different ways to engage developers to become more involved in open source software. I'll share my experience working with clients, user groups, and even kids to promote involvement in open source. Take these experiences home to help find like minded people and promote open source in your area.
