<h2>Talk Rules</h2>
<ul>
<li>There are none</li>
<li>Open discussion</li>
<li>Interrupt me</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="images/norules.gif"/></p>
<p>(Ok, maybe there are a couple of rules...)</p>

<section>
<h1>Open Source Overview</h1>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Proprietary Software</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not much to discuss...</li>
<li>Black box</li>
<li>Closed-off development process</li>
<li>Exclusive control</li>
<li>Car with its hood welded shut</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Proprietary Software == No Rights</h2>
<ul>
<li>Users must complain when something's broke</li>
<li>Cannot fix on your own</li>
<li>Cannot modify on your own</li>
<li>Restricted usage</li>
<li>Frequently, don't even own it</li>
<li>Company ceases? You're screwed</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<p>Example: <a href="http://www.wired.com/2015/04/dmca-ownership-john-deere/" target="_blank">John Deere (Wired)</a></p>
<img src="images/johndeere.jpg"/>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Open Source</h2>
<ul>
<li>No black box</li>
<li>Source code is publicly viewable</li>
<li>Does <em>not</em> explicitly grant:
<ul>
<li>Ownership</li>
<li>Modification rights</li>
<li>Redistribution rights</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><em>Not</em> implicitly free of cost</li>
<li><em>Not</em> implicitly "open" development processes</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Open Development</h2>
<ul>
<li>Transparency</li>
<li>Open processes</li>
<li>Open discussions (mailing list, forums, etc.)</li>
<li><em>Not</em> implicitly open source</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>"Free" Software</h2>
<ul>
<li>Open source, plus...</li>
<li>Free as in speech (freedom), not as in beer</li>
<li><em>Still not</em> implicitly free of cost</li>
<li>Freedoms:
<ul>
<li><em>Run</em> for any purpose</li>
<li><em>Study</em> the code</li>
<li><em>Redistribute</em> copies</li>
<li><em>Improve</em> the code</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Freedoms tweaked by license differences (whole other talk)</li>
<li>Typically (<em>hopefully</em>) includes "open development"...</li>
<li>...but not always (at least not always done <em>well</em>)</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>FLOSS Software</h2>
<ul>
<li>Good: FOSS ("Free Open Source Software")</li>
<li>Best: FLOSS ("Free/Libre Open Source Software")</li>
<li>FLOSS emphasizes "freedom" over misleading "free"</li>
<li>Talk assumes FLOSS over OS...</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>FLOSS Religion</h2>
<img src="images/stallman.jpg"/>
</section>
<section>
<h2>FLOSS Religion</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not Free == Not Ethical</li>
<li>Appreciate the mentality, but...</li>
<li>IMO
<ul>
<li>FLOSS == superior engineering</li>
<li>Proprietary != The Devil</li>
<li>No Ownership == The Devil</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>FLOSS Superiority</h2>
<ul>
<li>Control & ownership</li>
<li>Superior engineering
<ul>
<li>More eyes == less bugs</li>
<li>More eyes == stability</li>
<li>More eyes == security</li>
<li>Community == new features</li>
<li>Breadth of features (ex: <a href="http://camel.apache.org/components.html" target="_blank">Apache Camel</a>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Speed (ie, not waiting for a fix)</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>"The Open Source Way"</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not limited to software</li>
<li>Openness, collaboration, transparent communication</li>
<li>Meritocracy (best ideas win)</li>
<li>Community service</li>
<li><a href="http://opensource.com/" target="_blank">opensource.com</a></li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Open Source Your Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>Obvious: beneficial to the software community</li>
<li>Rarely detrimental to your competitive edge</li>
<li>Again: superior engineering</li>
<li>Again: potential new features</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Why should I get involved?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Necessity</li>
<li>Community</li>
<li>Increased opportunities (both individually and for the company)</li>
<li>Better understanding of the specific tool</li>
<li>Professional network</li>
<li>Resume & personal brand</li>
</ul>
</section>

<h1>FLOSS Users</h1>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Proprietary Software Users</h2>
<ul>
<li>Purely a customer/consumer</li>
<li>No control</li>
<li>Request and wait on fixes/features</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>"Bad" FLOSS Users</h2>
<ul>
<li>Continue to act like proprietary users</li>
<li>"WHY HASN’T THIS BEEN FIXED YET?!"</li>
<li>"<em>YOU</em> need to fix this!"</li>
<li>Threaten to use a different project</li>
<li>Talker, not "doer"</li>
<li>Encounter bug -> abandon or workaround</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>"Bad" FLOSS Users: Bug Reports</h2>
<ul>
<li>"It doesn't work."</li>
<li>"I don't have time to create a test case."</li>
<li>"Here's my entire application, zipped up."</li>
<li>"I know this was rejected before, but opening again."</li>
<li>"Bump."</li>
<li>"I know this branch is 10 years old and not maintained, but fix this and release?"</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Effective FLOSS Users</h2>
<ul>
<li>Entirely different mentality</li>
<li><strike>Customer/Consumer</strike></li>
<li><em>Contributor</em>, not user</li>
<li>Vital part of the <em>development process</em></li>
<li>Everyone has different priorities...</li>
<li>...and yours may not be mine</li>
<li>Willing to discuss and be open</li>
<li>Simple issues -> immediately fix and contribute</li>
<li>Lighten up</li>
<li>Finish what you start</li>
<li>Appreciate it? Tell us! Goes a long way.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Effective FLOSS Users: Bug Reports</h2>
<ul>
<li>Encounter bug -> don't ignore it (responsibility)</li>
<li>Search before opening</li>
<li>Verbose, but precise</li>
<li>Logs, stacks, thread dumps</li>
<li>Clearly separate facts vs. speculations</li>
<li>Study the code</li>
<li><a href="https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8765" target="_blank">https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8765</a></li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Effective FLOSS Users: Bug Reports</h2>
<ul>
<li>Test cases are king!!!</li>
<li>Minimum: <em>Enough</em> code fragments and config details</li>
<li>Better: Small, standalone reproducer</li>
<li>Best: Pull request, adding test case to existing testsuite</li>
</ul>

<h2>Discover Projects to Help</h2>
<ul>
<li>Most important: You use it (@ work, on-the-side)</li>
<li>Scratches an itch</li>
<li>Need a capability
<ul>
<li>Could do it from scratch...</li>
<li>...but Project X is close (missing a few things)</li>
<li>Add to it!</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h2>Discover Projects to Help</h2>
<ul>
<li>Not unlike startups: requires passion to be effective</li>
<li>Community driven: What would be the most <em>enabling</em>?</li>
<li>Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS)
<ul>
<li>Lots of momentum</li>
<li>Large number of efforts</li>
<li>Whole new level of <em>passion</em></li>
