Moderator: Dru Lavigne, Technical Documentation Specialist at iXsystems

Panelists: Deb Goodkin, Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation; Allan Jude, VP of operations at ScaleEngine Inc.; Dan Langille has worked with open source projects since 1998; Benedict Reuschling, Computer science department, University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt.

This panel consists of panelists who have first-hand experience in the positive benefits of open source involvement as part of one's career path. While they are all engaged in the same open source project, their careers vary: management, entrepreneurship, development, documentation, and academia. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how one gets started with an open source community, what benefits they can gain, how to apply those benefits to their own career path, and the advantages of continued involvement even after one's career is well underway.
