Learn more at https://events.linuxfoundation.org/ Panel Discussion: Educating the Next Generation of Open Source Project Contributors - Dawn Foster, CHAOSS; Stephen Walli, Microsoft; Ruth Ikegah, CHAOSS Africa & Leslie Hawthorn, Red Hat GmbH There are so many open source projects and not enough contributors to sustain them all over the long term. With many open source projects desperate for contributors, how do we educate the next generation of open source contributors to grow the contributor base for all of us? In this panel, we’ll talk about education programs for school children and university students. We’ll discuss the landscape of open source contributors in the different regions along with the motivations for participation in open source and how those differ across regions. Because we want contributors who will continue contributing, we’ll also talk about some challenges that prevent sustainable contributions over the long term. Our panelists have experience teaching open source to university students, creating and sustaining open source contribution programs for students in secondary school through to university, and building new open source communities in Africa. In this panel, we’ll talk about what we’ve learned, what’s worked, and provide tips for you to grow the next generation of contributors from within your local communities.
