A
Welcome
welcome
to
day
two
of
universe.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
this
morning,
for
those
of
you
who
did
go
to
the
concert
last
night.
I
know
that
it
was
probably
a
lot
of
work
to
get
up
and
be
here
for
those
of
you
who
didn't
great,
that's
you're
supposed
to
be
here,
I'm,
so
happy
that
y'all
came
here
for
day.
Two
I
hope
you
had
a
great
day
one.
Do
you
have
a
good
day,
one
at
universe,
good
before
I
launch
into
my
talk?
A
There
are
a
bunch
of
people
I'd
like
to
thank
first
of
all
the
github
events
team,
which
has
done
an
amazing
job
of
making
us
all
comfortable
and
welcome
all
the
amenities
best
conference.
Food
I've
ever
had
for
sure
best,
portable
toilets
I
mean
Kim,
like
that's
just
yeah
I
give
a
shout
out
to
the
portable
toilets.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
all
the
people.
Who've
been
preparing
and
serving
the
food,
the
people,
the
coffee
station,
the
sound
folks
in
the
back
who've
been
working
their
butts
off
for
several
days.
A
I
really
want
to
see
in
DC
and
I
really
want
to
go
to
the
museums
and
so
coming
from
a
resource-constrained
background.
I
had
saved
my
money
so
that
I
could
go
to
museums.
There
were
three
things
I
wanted
to
see.
The
three
things
I
wanted
to
see
when
I
got
there,
the
Smithsonian
were
the
portraits
of
the
presidents,
a
a
moon
rock,
an
Indiana,
Jones,
hat
jacket
and
whip.
These
things
I
knew
were
all
in
the
Smithsonian.
A
A
When
I
get
to
Washington
DC
for
those
of
you,
who've
been
to
Washington
DC,
you
will
imagine
my
delight
and
surprise
when
I
got
there
and
everything
said
this
free
and
open
to
the
public
free
and
open
to
the
public.
Now
I've
got
thirty
dollars.
I
wasn't
counting
on
in
my
pocket
and
I
get
to
see
everything
I
spent
a
week
running
around
that
mall.
Looking
at
things,
I
never
thought
I'd
be
able
to
see.
A
I
saw
the
Declaration
of
Independence
I,
see
that
there
I
saw
the
Constitution
there
I
think
the
Declaration
was
on
display.
I
got
to
go
and
see
the
Natural
History
Museum
I
got
to
see
the
National
Gallery
I
saw
the
museum
of
american
history.
I
saw
the
space
the
air
and
space
museum,
and
not
just
once,
but
I
kept
going
back.
I
could
leave,
get
a
cheap
lunch
and
come
back
and
see
some
other
stuff
and
not
worry
about
that
price
of
admission.
A
A
This
is
the
power
of
open
source
and
when
we
talk
about
the
future
of
software
development,
this
is
as
we
know,
because
we're
here
today
and
we
believe
in
github
and
we
believe
in
the
power
of
open
source.
This
is
how
we
are
going
to
throw
open
the
doors
to
communities
that
have
never
had
access
to
this
kind
of
museum.
When
I
was
growing
up
and
coming
up
and
learning
about
tech,
things
were
locked
down.
You
could
not
access
someone
else's
code,
and
you
know
you
couldn't
fork
it.
A
So
what
we're
doing
at
github,
because
we
believe
so
strongly
in
the
future
of
developers
and
in
the
new
developer,
we're
looking
at
the
fact
that
60,000
computer
science
majors
graduate
the
US
every
year,
but
we
are
anticipating
15
million
new
jobs,
technical
jobs
in
this
country
in
the
next
20
years.
That
math
doesn't
work.
Okay,
if
we
think
we're
actually
going
to
see
the
innovation
we
want
in
this
next
generation
in
the
next
two
generations
of
software
development,
this
math
doesn't
work.
Now,
I'm
not
here
to
trash
a
computer
science
degree.
A
I
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
very
lovely
computer
science
degrees
and
wonderful,
that's
great
computer
science
degrees
are
one
pathway
to
being
open
source
contributors.
They
are
one,
it
is
one
pathway.
It
is
not
the
only
pathway
and
if
I
took
a
poll
in
this
room
today,
of
how
many
of
you
are
not
computer
science
majors,
but
are
amazing
contributors
to
open
source
communities
to
really
cool
innovative
technologies.
A
I
bet
you'd
see
a
huge
difference
in
the
number
of
people
who
hold
computer
science
degrees,
but
are
here
because
they
believe
in
open
source
and
learned
it
somewhere
else.
You
might
be
self-taught,
you
might
have
gone
to
a
coding
school.
You
might
have
had
that
one
teacher
somewhere
in
a
school
who
said
you've
got
this
talent.
You've
got
this
skill.
You
should
just
do
this
thing.
Our
founder,
who
you
heard
from
yesterday,
left
College
partway
through
because
he
wasn't
learning
this
stuff.
A
He
wasn't
able
to
access
the
stuff
at
the
speed
that
he
wanted
to
and
make
it
his
own.
So
what
github?
One
of
the
things
that
we're
really
proud
of
is
for
any
job
you
apply
for
at
github.
There
is
no
formal
education
requirement.
None!
We
do
not
look
at
that
pedigree.
We
do
not
give
it
an
inordinate
amount
of
weight
because
you
went
to
a
named
school.
A
We
want
to
know
that
you
were
here
for
the
open
source
community
to
build
some
cool
stuff
and
to
be
part
of
this
movement
that
somebody
joked
on
Twitter.
Yesterday,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
here,
Sarah
apparently
open
source
that
used
to
be
the
outsider,
we're
now
the
establishment,
Sarah
Sarah
Sarah
she
tweeted
we're
Sarah
may
work.
We
are
the
establishment.
A
Okay,
we
have
to
just
get
over
that
open
source
is
kind
of
the
establishment,
but
let's
be
a
totally
different
establishment
than
the
one
that
came
before
it,
the
one
that
was
locked
down
the
one
that
was
not
free
and
open
to
the
public.
What
we're
doing
at
github
is
we
are
actively
investing
in
new
developers.
A
So
this
is
a
program
that
we've
been
running
for
a
year
in
partnership
with
housing
and
urban
development
and
a
nonprofit
called
everyone
on.
If
you
were
here
at
universe
last
year,
you
heard
from
their
CEO
chike
augue,
we
are
working
with
28
communities
around
the
US
and
investing
in
young
people
who
live
in
public
housing.
A
So
that
means
they
are
living
at
or
below
the
poverty
line
according
to
us
standards,
and
we
are
bringing
digital
literacy
to
their
computer
centers
to
their
homes,
connecting
them
to
the
internet
with
partners
like
Comcast
and
saying:
look,
we
believe
in
you
as
the
creators
of
the
next
generation
of
software.
This
is
not.
Please
do
not
mistake
this
for
charity.
Please
do
not
mistake
this
for
philanthropy,
even
though
technically
it
is.
This
is
a
massive
investment
in
the
new
developer.
A
We
are
looking
at
a
lot
of
these
young
folks
and
their
families
and
saying
how
quickly
can
we
hire
you?
What
are
your
plans
for
your
life?
Do
you
want
to
be
in
software
development
and
when
toya
East
who's
sitting
here
in
the
front,
she's
pictured
there
on
the
left?
She
runs
this
project
when
Toya
asks
them.
You
can
raise
your
hand,
so
in
case
anybody
wants
us
to
ask
you
questions
later,
when
Toya
asks
them
on
their
surveys.
What
did
you
like
most?
A
They
said
we
like
building
we
like
building
things,
I
think
if
I
pulled
this
room,
that
would
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
hear
too.
We
like
building
things
we
like
building
cool
things,
either
that
nobody's
ever
seen
before
or
I
would
guess
that
in
this
room
we
also
like
to
build
a
lot
of
replicas.
Everyone
has
the
secret
Millennium
Falcon
in
their
closet,
that
they
built
out
of
Legos
I'm
no
exception
investing
in
new
developers.
That
is
what
github
is
doing
so
every
time
we
partner
with
a
black
girls
code.
A
Every
time
we
partner
with
code
2040,
we
are
investing
in
the
new
developer
and
your
call
to
action
today
is
to
invest
in
the
new
developer.
One
of
the
most
magical
things
we've
learned
in
connect
home
is
that
this
little
$99
kit
from
Kano
there's
a
British
company.
It's
a
bunch
of
it
runs
on
a
Raspberry
Pi
and
it's
a
it
is
often
these
young
people
in
connect
homes,
their
first
computer
and
the
first
thing
they
get
to
do
with
that.
A
First
computer
is
put
it
together
and
understand
and
learn
what
the
components
are
and
make
it
do
something,
because
if
you
ask
kids
right
now,
most
kids
from
any
background,
what
is
the
computer
the
point
to
the
monitor?
But
in
our
lessons
they
start
to
learn
that
the
raspberry
pi
is
the
thing,
that's
doing
the
work
and
they
hold
it
in
their
hands
and
they
snap
it
together
and
that's
their
favorite
part
building
the
computer
and
the
lesson
that
we
work
really
hard
to
teach
them.
Is
you
run
this
machine?
This
machine
doesn't
run
you.
A
Let
us
explain
to
you
what's
happening
in
open-source
development,
because
you
run
the
software.
The
software
doesn't
run
you,
and
this
is
a
whole
new
paradigm
for
people
who
are
learning
about
software
development
from
underrepresented
backgrounds.
I
would
like
to
bring
up
my
first
guest
to
talk
about
another
community.
That's
developed,
that's
investing
in
new
developers
and
we're
investing
with
them,
but
first
a
video
to
introduce
him.
B
Hi
I'm
David
Molina
former
US
Army
captain
and
found
an
executive
director
of
operation
code
in
my
last
year
of
active
duty,
I
applied
to
Co
school
excited
because
I
got
in,
but
then
disappointed
that
I
couldn't
use.
My
GI
Bill
benefits
to
pay
for
tuition,
room
and
board.
A
few
months
later,
during
my
exit
off
active
duty,
I
was
frustrated
to
learn.
There
were
no
readily
accessible
software
development,
education,
mentorship
and
job
placement
opportunities
for
those
of
us
who
had
worn
the
uniform
and
wanted
to
transition
of
software
careers.
C
Support
operation
code
so
that
people
like
myself
veterans
can't
go
to
coding
school,
it's
a
great
resource
for
returning
vets
who
really
need
that
extra
leg
up,
because
it
helps
not
only
the
individuals
that
it
might
provide
scholarships
for
or
mentorship.
But
it
helps
those
people
continue
to
give
back
to
the
community.
B
Good
morning
Thank
You
Nicole
for
the
wonderful
introduction.
I
am
David.
Molina
found
an
executive
director
of
operation
code
I.
The
gentleman
that
you
saw
in
the
video
Marco
went
to
Portland
code
school
got
a
job
as
a
software
developer
Victor
my
brother
was
working
at
construction,
went
to
a
coat
school
and
he
doubled
his
salary
doubled
his
wages
and
he
loves
what
he
does.
B
It
was
painful
to
realize
that
one
myself
of
250,000
of
sons
and
daughters
of
American
sons
and
daughters
who
exit
the
service
annually
annually
when
I
Exeter
2013
I,
could
not
use
my
education
benefits
to
attend
flat
iron
or
dev,
bootcamp
or
code.
Fellow
for
that
matter,
I
cannot
use
the
education
benefits
that
I
have
served
over
a
decade
in
uniform,
both
has
enlisted
and
as
an
officer
and
use
it.
B
So
what
is
one
to
do
after
they
buy
a
home?
A
VA
home
went
back
to
portland
and
I
started
a
business
as
many
other
would
hustle,
and
I
started
a
company
to
send
myself
to
code
school
and
I
self-taught
myself
attending
railsconf
attending
Ruby
meetups
and
through
the
love
of
the
open
source
community.
It
is
why
I
am
here
on
stage
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
B
Thank
you.
We
drive
our
philosophy
in
our
vision
statement
from
President
Abraham
Lincoln
at
the
throes
of
the
Civil
War
when
a
country
had
fallen
apart
and
he
was
putting
it
back
together.
He
argued
at
second
inaugural
for
malice
towards
none
for
righteous
towards
God,
and
he
argue
that
we
must
take
care
of
those
have
warned
the
scars
of
war.
Those
has
served
our
country
and
their
widowed
250,000
of
us
exit
annually
veterans.
Unemployment
is
still
12.
High
veteran
suicide
is
one
too
high
and
most
thoroughly
and
is
visible
on
streets
of
San
Francisco
veterans.
B
Unemployment
is
all
too
high.
Our
story
began
in
august
of
2014
as
an
open
source
project.
I
launched
this
website
at
cascadia.
Ruby
with
another
rubios
and
operation
code
was
of
two
different
websites.
One
was
a
ruby
on
rails
because
I
knew
that
and
one
was
launched
rock
to
collect
the
data
we
pulled
in
the
data
and
within
days,
another
developer,
dr.
B
james
davis,
out
of
Louisiana
jumped
in
in
github
emailed
I,
didn't
know
what
I
was
doing,
but
I
knew
that
what
we
were
doing
now
wasn't
enough
and
we
needed
to
do
more
and
dr.
Davis
did
something
that
took
me
two
years
in
the
making
to
think
about
in
two
hours
and
he
combined
the
two
databases
and
integrated
the
onboarding
process
for
military
veterans
to
join
operation
code
through
petition
Congress
to
expand
the
GI
Bill
to
include
code
schools
and
he
did
it
in
two
hours.
B
What
took
me
two
months
to
years
thinking
about
this
and
wanting
to
be
a
software
developer.
It
took
in
two
hours
and
thus
operation
code
was
born
at
operation
code.
We
serve
over
650
vets
within
slack
the
most
unique
software
mentor-protégé
program,
I,
taking
the
skills
that
I
had
learned
at
Ruby
meetups,
taking
the
skills
that
I
learned
at
railsconf,
I,
Cala,
Gator,
portland's
tech,
community
and
open
source
calendar
and
sort
of
taking
these
things.
These
things
that
I
had
learned
with
hack,
hands
and
hacking
with
others
and
pairing
with
others.
B
B
We
also
have
many
other.
We
have
over
23
repositories,
including
open
troops.
We
teach
military
veterans
within
our
community
using
screen
hero
using
google
hangout
sky,
whatever
tool
that
the
software
mentor
would
like
to
use
whatever
tool
the
veteran
would
like
to
do
to
use
and
we
get
them
hacking
in
operation
code
org
making
them
the
first
commit
one
commit
at
a
time.
It
is
a
very,
very
powerful
thing
when
you
help
a
former
82nd
airborne
paratrooper
wants
to
build
a
website
for
his
son's
soccer
team
to
hack
a
website
together.
B
B
Generations
before
us,
in
World
War,
two,
our
grandparents,
who
served
in
World
War,
two
in
Europe,
defeating
fascism,
return
to
a
grateful
nation
over
a
third
of
the
country
had
serve
and
return
to
a
grateful
nation
that
welcomed
them
in
arms
and
said.
Thank
you
for
your
service,
and
not
only
that
here
is
an
education
benefit
to
put
you
through
the
Henry
Ford
Institute's,
to
work
at
the
Henry
Ford
plants.
As
we
part
of
the
middle
class
that
was
World
War
two
and
over
the
last
75
plus
years,
we
have
fallen
and
fallen
behind.
B
B
During
that
time
they
received
education,
benefits
housing
benefits;
they
can
go
to
school
and
be
part
of
the
middle
class.
Today,
across
the
country
only
56
code
schools
accept
the
new
GI
built
include
code
schools.
We
heard
from
Nicole
there's
more
than
one
way
to
become
a
software
developer
more
than
one
way
to
become
a
nope
source
contributor.
B
How
can
you
get
involved
to
ensure
that
today's
military
veterans
thrive
that
they're
welcomed
much
like
our
world
war?
Two
veterans?
It
is
not
enough
just
to
thank
them
not
just
enough
to
buy
them
a
beer
at
the
airport,
not
just
enough
to
walk
by
them
and
say
nothing.
They
have
served
our
country
and
they
deserve
a
real
shot
at
the
American
dream,
a
real
shot
at
feeling
of
the
many
jobs,
tech,
jobs
that
exist
here
in
San
Francisco
across
the
country
in
Portland
and
around
the
globe
number
one.
B
You
can
become
a
software
mentor
in
our
software
mentor-protege
program.
We
over
50
mentors
from
Java
to
JavaScript,
to
Python
to
Ruby
on
Rails
to
go.
You
can
become
a
mentor
in
our
community
and
start
pairing
with
the
military
veteran.
Today
it
is
simple
to
join
its
operation
code,
org
and
you'll,
get
welcomed
by
Rick,
so
you'll
get
two
emails.
One
is
from
our
welcome
Miller
in
our
rails
and
the
other
one
is
our
slack
bottom
we're
actually
recreating
it.
Vets
pot-au-feu
bow
and
you
get
into
slack.
B
That
is
the
first
way
and
it
is
a
very
important
way
because
they've
already
served
their
country.
There
should
be
no
reason
they
should
paying
a
dollar
two
dollars
a
minute
or
paying
for
some
of
this
they've
already
served
their
country.
The
other
way
is
we
need
volunteers,
operation
co-starred.
As
a
petition.
Last
year
we
had
a
fiscal
sponsor
and
today
we're
a
501c3,
but
in
reality
we
run
like
a
lean
startup
and
we're
bootstrap.
B
So
we
need
the
best
and
brightest
in
this
room
and
watching
in
their
browser
to
join
us
on
board
kameez
from
public
relations.
To
writing
to
writing
the
stories
of
our
veterans.
Noncoding
volunteer
positions,
all
those
are
important
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
we
are
to
fill
the
nation's
technical
talent
shortage,
we
cannot
do
it.
What
we've
been
doing
stuff
are
250,000
exit
the
service
annually.
We
intend
to
fill
the
nation's
technical
talent
shortage
with
our
nation's
finest.
B
You
imagine
if
your
if
your
grandparents
had
come
back
after
World
War,
two
but
think
of
today,
what
they
would
think
that
github
and
the
open
source
community
stood
for
them
to
ensure
that
they
were
not
only
taken
care
of,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
had
a
viable
career
into
the
future
that
changed
the
world
in
the
third
way
by
contributing
by
donating.
We
have
many
many
ways
you
can
donate
or
on
Amazon
charity,
employee,
employee
relations
through
benefitting
matching
program.
B
Those
are
all
phenomenal
ways,
but
the
other
day
we
just
need
more
people
to
step
up.
We
need
more
open
source
contributors
to
step
up
and
ensure
that
our
finance
have
the
best
opportunity
the
best
chance
today,
not
tomorrow,
you
can
reach
us
on
medium
github
and
on
Twitter.
Thank
you
very
much
within
a
privilege
and
honor.
A
Thank
you
David
all
right,
so
your
first
call
to
action:
can
you
help
operation
code
be
as
impactful
as
they
want
to
be
for
a
group
of
folks
that
are
sorely
underrepresented
in
tech
and
underrepresented
in
the
workforce?
Overall,
that's
your
first
call
to
action
when
you
think
about
David
story,
and
you
think
about
what
this
means
free
and
open
to
the
public.
A
David
talked
about
learning
himself,
how
to
do
some
things
that
he
didn't
think
he
could
do
and
that
he
didn't
know
how
to
do
when
he
first
started
a
lot
of
that
happened
around
dabbling
and
getting
in
there
into
those
two
free
resources
and
making
something
of
them.
So
when
we
are
charged
with
making
something
free
and
open
to
the
public,
as
I
said
at
the
beginning,
that's
great
here's,
the
downside.
A
This
next
is
to
some
work
that
we're
doing
here
at
github
that
we'd
like
to
invite
you
to
join
us
in
the
first
one,
is
that
in
the
fall
we're
going
to
launch
the
open-source
survey,
there
has
never
been
a
survey
of
this
magnitude
to
find
out
what
your
attitudes
are
about
open
source.
How
did
you
get
there?
Who
are
you?
Where
are
you?
What
do
you
do
in
open
source?
A
One
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
survey
is
figure
out
how
to
make
this
a
welcoming,
inclusive
and
safe
space
for
all
people
to
reap
the
same
kinds
of
benefits
in
open
source
that
some
people
have
in
this
last
in
these
last
few
years.
We
know
that
it
is
not
an
equal
experience
for
everybody
who
comes
on
so
please
follow
the
open
source
survey
when
it
launches
I.
Ask
you
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
Our
data
science
team
is
working
really
hard
on
this
Franny
and
arvon.
Thank
you.
A
So
much
for
the
leadership
you've
shown
around
this,
because
github
is
in
a
very
unique
position
to
get
a
wide
range
of
developers
and
open
source.
Answering
the
set
of
questions
will
be
the
first
survey
of
its
kind.
So
please
bookmark
that
sign
up.
When
you
go
to
that
that
page,
you
can
sign
up
to
get
a
notification
when
the
the
survey
is
launched.
A
A
Trans
hug
is
someone
who,
who
has
put
a
lot
of
time,
energy
and
his
PhD
into
helping
make
technology
overall,
an
open
and
welcoming
space
for
all
people
and
he's
going
to
talk
to
you
today
about
specifically
what
open
source
has
done
in
that
regard.
So
please
help
me
welcome
dr.
Courtney
Ziegler.
Oh.
D
That's
me:
it
was
awesome.
I
heard
someone
got
your
trance
a
clue,
yeah
yeah!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
today.
Nicole
I'm
really
excited
to
be
here
and
talk
a
little
bit
of
about
my
journey,
an
open
source
and
kind
of
the
stuff
that
I've
done
so
far
in
the
tech,
industry
and
yeah.
So,
let's
get
going,
my
name
is
Courtney
I
am
the
co-founder
of
VSM
Co
I
really
appreciate
these
slides
I'm.
D
Sorry
I'm
a
little
bit
like
everything's
like
so
much
I'm,
the
co-founder
of
VSM
CO,
and
we
are
a
software
company
focus
on
building
tools
for
adult
education
I'm.
One
of
those
people
are
guests,
Nicole
kind
of
alluded
to
in
the
beginning,
I
though
I
spent
years
and
years
and
years
in
school
I
do
not
have
a
CS
degree.
Actually,
what's
funny
when
I
my
first
time,
I
went
to
college
I
went
to
UC
Santa
Cruz
I
was
a
computer
science,
major
and
I
spin
I.
Think
a
quarter
is
a
quarter
system.
D
A
quarter
in
computer
science
and
I
dropped
out
and
I'd
studied
film
and
it
was.
It
was
actually
really
interesting
for
me
to
reflect
on
that
moment
because
I
remember
just
feeling
like
I
couldn't
be
a
computer
science
major,
it
was
impossible
for
me.
There
was
no
way
that
I
would
be
able
to
participate
in
the
computer
industry.
D
I
started
blogging
as
a
graduate
student,
because
I
needed
to
find
a
place
to
kind
of
get
away
from
the
seminar
space,
traditional
education,
spaces
and
kind
of
build
community
in
another
way,
and
so
I
started
blogging
in
the
early
2000s
prior
to
Twitter,
and
when
blogging
like
in
the
early
2000s
blog
was
like
a
big
deal.
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
are
like
early
bloggers.
D
My
co-founder
considers
me
a
kind
of
early
internet
pioneer,
so
I
really
honored
that
title
so
I
started
blogging
the
early
2000s,
as
you
can
see,
that's
the
kind
of
that's
a
screenshot
of
my
own
blog
I.
Have
you
actually
go
on
the
internet
wayback
machine
to
find
this?
It's
called
blackass
demic,
and
this
was
ten
years
ago
since
I'm
a
25
year
old
student,
I'm
no
longer
25,
but
it
was
really
great
experience
in
terms
of
building
a
community
online.
D
At
that
moment,
WordPress
had
the
infamous
or
famous
infamous
I
see
it
as
five-minute
install,
which
was
really
not
five
minutes
and
me
not
being
a
computer
science
major
at
the
time.
It
was
a
little
bit
difficult
for
me
to
kind
of
like
set
up
my
blog,
but
the
beautiful
thing
about
it
being
open
source
I
was
able
to
kind
of
find
communities
online
and
get
help
with
that.
D
Also,
aside
from
the
technical
support,
I
was
a
bit
of
fine
community
in
terms
of
networking
running
my
blog
for
about
I
would
say
almost
ten
years
that
I
did
maybe
eight
years
actually
eight
to
ten
years.
That
I
was
able
to
build
networks
with
people
that
I
kind
of
still
keeping
cut
still
keep
in
contact
with
today.
Excuse
me,
through
my
blogging,
so
it
was
very
helpful
in
terms
of
being
able
to
be
introduced
to
open
source
community
technically
and
as
a
networking
opportunity.
D
Through
this
journey,
I
was
able
to
meet
my
co-founder
tiffany
michael
who
has
been,
who
is
a
software
engineer
and
has
been
a
developer
for
over
10
years,
and
she
met
me
through
co,
organizing
a
transaction
Chicago
and
she
was
like.
Let's
start
a
company
and
I
was
like
okay.
Let's
do
it
and
we
are
both
I
come
from
a
traditional
education
background.
She
comes
from
a
self-directed
self-guided
non
traditional
background,
but
we
both
held
education
and
the
possibilities
of
Education
kind
of
in
a
high
regard.
D
So
she's
like
let's
work
together,
I'm
like
great,
so
we
were
like
what
are
we
gonna?
Do
we
wanted
to
build
an
educational
platform
that
focus
on
marginalized
learners,
specifically
people
of
color?
It
really
meant
a
lot
to
us,
because
we
have
very
traditional,
very
different
educational
paths.
We
definitely
wanted
to
see
ourselves
represented
in
the
space
of
online
education,
so
we're
like
how
do
we
start
building
that?
D
As
you
see
in
this
screenshot,
all
the
way
to
the
left
is
our
first
kind
of
platform
we
built,
which
is
a
virtual
conference
platform,
and
this
was
in
2014
and
we
hacked
it
together
using
WordPress
some
open
source,
an
open
source
of
chat,
plugin.
Google
hangouts
I
think
I
even
use
to
design
the
graphics.
Everything
was
like
pretty
much
free
and
open
source,
but
it
gave
us
the
ability
to
mess
around
with
it
play
around
with
it.
D
Try
different
possibilities:
different
experiments,
work
with
different
customers
to
the
kind
of
test
to
see
what
they
want
and
see
what
we
can
provide
and
just
really
just
try
different
things.
As
you
see
in
the
kind
of
lower
bottom
right,
the
woman
who's
giving
instruction
that's
at
the
University
of
Illinois.
They
used
our
MVP
to
provide
educational
delivery
for
potential
students
who
may
have
questions
or
you
know,
wanted
to
participate
in
the
University,
and
so
we
are
really
again
got
an
opportunity
to
find
out.
How
can
we
use?
D
How
can
we
make
online
learning
more
engaging
and
more
inclusive
of
different
types
of
people
and
different
types
of
learners?
So
again
we
had
multiple
iterations
during
this
time
as
transact
was,
you
know
still
running
on
its
own.
We're
like
transact
would
be
a
great
customer
to
really
try
to
leverage
what
we're
building
so
we're
like.
Okay,
great.
D
How
do
we
make
remote
learning
more
engaging?
How
do
we
be
more
inclusive
of
people
who
come
from
different
backgrounds?
Speak
different
languages
are
connecting
through
different
kind
of
internet
speeds,
different
things
like
that.
So
how
can
we
kind
of
accommodate
all
that,
and
so
we
tested
it
out?
We
had
a
conference
which
is
really
awesome
and,
as
you
can
see
from
some
of
the
screenshots,
this
is
what
I
guess.
I
can't
go
back.
I
can't
go
back!
D
Oh
sorry,
so,
as
you
see
from
the
beginning
from
the
kind
of
hack
together
WordPress
like
all
these
different
iterations,
this
is
what
it
looks
like
today.
The
platform
is
called
aerial
spaces.
I
forgot
to
say
the
name,
sorry
about
that.
The
platform
is
called
aerial
spaces
and
we
did
a
customized
installation,
a
customized
instance
of
aerial
spaces
for
trans
fat
call
the
loft
and
it's
really
a
space
which
were
focus
on
educational
collaboration
for
trans
people,
cool,
so
I'm
almost
running
out
of
time,
which
is
great.
D
So
what
we
learn,
what
we
learned
by
having
the
online
conference
working
with
multiple
customers
and
leveraging
open
source
technologies
to
really
hack
together
this
MVP,
to
take
it
all
the
way
to
proprietary
code
is
so
many
things
and
we're
super
excited
to
continue
moving
forward.
One
of
the
most
important
things
is
that
we
were
focused
on
is
how
to
make
things
accessible
again,
how
to
bring
in
people
who
have
different
internet
speeds,
who
have
access
different
different
cut
ties
of
browsers,
different
technologies
to
in
which
to
like,
engage
or
access
their
learning.
D
We're
also
focused
on
how
education
online
to
be
more
engaging.
This
is
a
quick
story,
so
we
have
a
customer
who
is
long-term
educator
and
he
used
our
platform
last
week
and
he
was
like
I
want
to
see.
I
want
to
see
all
my
students,
because
when
we
ran
on
site,
I
can
see
all
your
faces
and
for
him
it
was
like
I
need
to
see
their
body.
Language
I
need
to
see
how
they're,
interacting
with
the
material
which
was
great,
and
so
we
customize
his
face
for
that.
D
So
he
can
do
that,
but
once
he
was
in
the
middle
of
his
once,
he
was
giving
his
his
course.
He
realized
that
being
on
stage
and
being
in
a
classroom
in
front
of
people
is
very
different
and
that
you
can
carry
this
kind
of
emotional
connection
that
you
make
with
people
in
a
virtual
space,
but
you
won't
necessarily
be
the
same
way.
You
maybe
can't
see
people's
faces.
You
maybe
can't
see
their
body
language.
Maybe
you
can't
see
when
they're
confused
about
something,
but
then
how
do
you
engage
them
in
different
ways?
D
We're
really
excited
that
our
platform
is
being
used
across
the
country
now
by
github,
as
a
customer
yay
github,
for
that
so
we're
being
able
to
test
it
with
different
different
companies
and
orgs
and
who
are
providing
online
education
and
getting
feedback
and
those
folks
who
are
centering
marginalized
people.
People
who
look
like
me,
people
who
are
the
people
that
Nicole
mentioned
in
her
talk
or
the
new
developers
different
types
of
learners.
You
can
support
us.
I
think
this
is
my
last
slide.
Yes,
but
you
can
find
me
on
Twitter
on
fake
rapper.
D
A
Okay,
so
you've
heard
a
lot
about
what
is
happening
in
communities
that
aren't
even
represented
in
this
room
in
great
numbers.
My
call
to
action
for
you
today
is
to
think
about
what
we
can
do
together
if
we
were
able
to
connect
every
developer
in
the
world
and
build
systems
to
connect
every
new
developer
right
now,
there's
a
kid
sitting
somewhere.
Maybe
it's
Kansas
City
one
of
our
favorite
places
to
go
for
connect
home.
A
Maybe
it's
somewhere
in
I,
don't
know
the
outback
in
Australia,
we
don't
know,
but
that
kid
is
sitting
on
some
amazing
idea
and
needs
a
little
bit
of
help.
A
little
push
a
little
bit
of
mentorship
to
stay
connected
to
all
of
the
cool
things
that
are
happening
in
open
source.
You
as
folks
who
are
in
the
middle
of
it
you
as
folks
who
understand
github
you
understand,
open
source
and
who
understand
the
future
of
software.
A
Millennials
now
coming
into
the
workforce,
are
I'm
going
to
say
it
again:
the
largest
most
diverse
generation
the
world
has
ever
seen,
and
if
we
lock
out
certain
parts
of
their
talent
and
don't
leverage
the
best
of
open-source,
we
will
lose
answers
to
some
of
the
world's
biggest
problems.
Our
job
is
to
build
the
future
of
software
together
with
people
who
don't
even
know
they
belong
in
it.
Yet
I'm
gonna
give
you
very
concrete
things
you
can
do
the
first.
This
is
a
very
basic
thing
and
I
love
this
site.
It's
called
your
first
PR.
A
Do
you
remember
your
first
pull
request?
How
many
people
remember
their
first
pull
requests?
Were
you
petrified?
I
was
petrified.
I
was
petrified.
Some
some
scary
engineer
was
gonna,
come
out
of
the
corner
somewhere
and
be
like
just
screw
that
up
it
didn't
happen.
In
fact,
people
were
really
nice
to
me,
and
people
said
oh
and
I
did
screw
it
up.
I
want
to
be
honest,
my
first
pull
request
was
not
pretty
and
they
said.
Oh
I
see
what
you
did
there.
A
Let
me
help
you
out
with
it,
and
you
know
what
the
second
one
was
less
scary
and
the
third
one
was
less
scary,
and
now
it's
a
part
of
my
everyday
life
same
thing
goes
for
you
and
the
same
thing
goes
for
some
vet
who's
sitting
in
a
code
school
right
now
in
operation
code
going.
Oh,
my
gosh
I'm.
This
is
my
first
pull
request.
Please
help
me
not
screw
it
up,
you're
the
ones
who
can
help
make
that
less
scary.
A
So
please
go
to
your
first
pull
request
and
check
that
out
and
volunteer
to
mentor
somebody
who's
actually
opening
their
first
pull
request
today.
Another
thing
you
can
do
this
is
a
project.
That's
work
that
is
run
by
a
woman
named
Elizabeth,
Baron
and
Cincinnati
Ohio
hi
elizabeth
is
watching
she's
on
the
social
impact
team
patchwork
is
one
of
the
hidden
gems,
I.
Think
a
lot
of
folks
don't
know
about
it.
In
github
we
actually
have
meetups
for
newbies
all
over
the
world.
A
The
next
one
is
on
September
30th
in
sea
without
wat
is,
and
we
help
people
get
their
first
commit
square
and
the
way
we
do
that
is
through
volunteers.
People
who
are
not
necessarily
github
employees
coming
to
the
meet
up
and
walking
people
through
their
first
commit
and
then
helping
them
through
the
next
part,
helping
them
through
the
next
part
and
hopefully
getting
them
hooked
on
this
free
and
open
to
the
public
idea,
so
that
people
can
dabble
in
museums
that
they
didn't
know
existed.
A
So
please
volunteer
for
a
patchwork,
and
the
last
thing
you
can
do
I'm
going
to
reiterate
the
open-source
survey.
We
need
your
brains
on
the
open-source
survey.
We
need
your
colleagues
to
participate
in
this
as
well,
so
we
can
understand,
what's
really
happening
inside
open
source,
I'm
gonna
end
with
a
story.
This
happened.
I.
A
I
had
just
started.
My
I
had
just
started
my
career
in
software
development
in
Damascus
when
I
was
displaced
and
I
said.
Oh
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
the
company
I
work
for
it's
called
github
and
he
laughed,
and
he
said
his
24
year
old
young
man,
a
Syrian
refugee,
said
how
could
I
be
a
software
developer
if
I
didn't
know
what
github
was
and
I
said?
A
That's
a
really
good
question
that
I
didn't
know
was
a
question
and
it
made
me
feel
like
the
world
of
opportunity
that
we
have
not
just
as
github
that's
cool
but
as
the
open-source
commit
community
has
no
limits
to
connect
to
each
other
right
now,
to
connect
to
the
new
developer
and
to
build
the
future
of
software.
Together,
we're
going
to
host
here
in
San
Francisco
in
early
2017,
a
group
of
Syrian
refugees
who
are
also
software
developers
and
we'd
like
to
invite
you
to
come
to
our
office.
A
If
you're
interested
in
doing
this
to
meet
with
them
to
talk
about
what
they're
trying
to
hack
up,
what
do
they
need,
what
are
they
experiencing
as
displaced
people
in
the
Netherlands?
This
is
the
kind
of
software
we
can
build
together
in
a
way
that
the
the
world
has
never
seen
in
its
history.
The
amount
of
connectivity,
the
level
of
diversity
and
the
level
of
thoughtful
collaboration
we
can
actually
have
together
can
be
unparalleled.
That's
your
charge,
leaving
here
today.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
at
universe.
