Open Source Networking reached critical mass in 2015, with an onslaught of new projects combining with many existing projects to create a vibrant ecosystem. Being productive in many of these projects can require a blend of unique skills. Each project can do things a little differently and having a frustration free experience across the board can be a challenge. The good news is that in this talk you will learn how to effectively work across many of these Open Source networking projects and how to deal with failure as well as success. We'll compare how these projects take on new work, how they consume this new work, and ultimately how they fold it into their projects. We will take you on a light-hearted ride through contribution and collaboration strategies that can lead to success, as well as strategies that can lead to a painful crash and burn.
Attendees should expect to come away with some solid ideas for working upstream in Open Source networking projects. Strategies for how to integrate into these communities, how to effectively submit patches and work on the roadmaps of these projects. We'll also have some lighthearted moments around what not to do, and how to ensure failure! Sometimes learning via light hearted comedy can be helpful, and our talk will have plenty of that. But at the end of the day, we want to have attendees walk away with common knowledge to be succesful in Open Source networking.
