Attention: I'm an Information Systems undergraduate working full-time and taking night classes. My availability for talks, workshops, interviews and other public and private events has decreased. However, you are still encouraged to email me invitations, especially during my summer break — I'll review them on a case-by-case basis.
What's Outreachy? What do you need to do to apply? How is the experience of being an intern like? What does a technical writer do, and how do technical writers organize the documentation they work on?
This is a laid-back conversation with members of Big Open Source Sister, a Brazilian mentoring program for minoritized groups in tech.

During the Open Source Summit North America, FINOS (Fintech Open Source Foundation) announced that they will be joining the Linux Foundation, the most significant technology consortium of the open source world. With multiple open projects in their portfolio — including PURE and Alloy, two products developed by Goldman Sachs —, the merger of those foundations is an important step for a future in which financial companies will be even more involved with dictating technological trends, eliminating unnecessary costs and opening doors to new market dynamics.
But what makes institutions like J.P. Morgan open the source code of products in which they have spent so much money developing? What is the logic behind their decision-making? We'll explore that in this talk!
What are decentralized networks? Why do they exist? Are they just a copy of centralized networks or do they offer something else? Is this something that will slowly fade away just as other social networks such as Google+ and Orkut or is it here to stay?
Mastodonte's administrator Renato "Lond" Cerqueira and moderators Anna e só and Thaís Ribeiro talk about their perceptions of decentralized networks and their experiences as Mastodon users and contributors.

Open source software is everywhere from the phone in your pocket to the International Space Station. But even more incredible than its presence in many aspects of our lives is the possibility of improving them ourselves by making contributions to these projects from the comfort of our homes.
In this workshop, we'll explore the process of contributing to an open source project from choosing one compatible with your skills to the review and approval of one of your contribution, debating and demonstrating minimum skills required, methods of searching for more information on how to contribute and ways to interact with open source communities.
