  1. Would a new developer on your team be excited to

    know they are working with you?
  2. Are you writing code in a vacuum? Would anyone coming

    up behind you know what the hell was going on?
  3. OpenSource. It wasn’t so long ago that a compiler, a

    database were something we paid for. Now we share.
  4. If you’re not the people person, you don’t have to

    go to meet ups and conferences all the time to be engaged.
  5. In your company: Communicating and demonstration of problems you’ve solved,

    establishing culture to discuss problems, not isolating yourself.
  6. In your local area: Mentoring, Speaking at local meetups, teaching

    weekend workshops, being engaged on Slack channels, helping out.
  7. In your space: Mentoring, speaking at conferences, contributing to open

    source projects, creating API’s, writing blog posts — once you solve a simple problem, give back and tell people about it!
  8. Sandi Metz created POODR (Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby) because

    she had consumed a lot of open source data and wanted to give back
  9. What can we gleam from this? Our community is better

    with all of us giving back and engaging with one another. We are stronger for it and better solutions and software come of it.
  10. Large open source projects, are a result of a community

    coming together and building something awesome.
