Intro to Open Source

The Intro to Open Source session covered the core philosophies behind Free and Open Source Software (FOSS),

along with a bit of history on the progression of the free software movement. By presenting advantages of using FOSS over proprietary software, we hope to motivate more users into considering FOSS alternatives of various day-to-day tools. Getting started in the world of Open Source contributing is usually overwhelming, so this session covered some tips and tricks for volunteering in projects and communities built around them.
