A New Adventure Is Born: How Open Source Dinos Unite
05-30, 11:30–12:20 (Europe/London), Music Hall
A coding brontosaurus teams up with other Open Source dinosaurs and unite as a community to advance their project. From The Apprentice-Rex to the Ptero-Python-Party-o-Dactyl, this rag tag group of friends' unique approaches work together to make our journeys better and our communities sustainable.
This keynote, inspired by the playful characters of the classic children's film A Land Before Time (1988) brings a fun approach to how persona marketing applies to the participants in Open Source. We compare project ecosystems, talk friction reducing activities tending to your community, and how iterative product and developer experience design through empathy is essential to project adoption.
Thank you to my wonderful partner, Mira, and her agency ARDD for the 3D model!
