- Looking back at 10 years of open-source community contributions (Damien Bowden)
The event is held in English.
Agenda:
Title: From bUnit with love - How Open Source can help you!
Who: Steven Giesel
Abstract: Hey, I am Steven, one of two maintainers of bUnit, THE testing library for Blazor components. In this talk, I will show how you can benefit from open source for your technical skills, but also soft skills. We will see how you can start your open-source journey and widen your horizon. For that, I will use examples from our own bUnit repositories and show some of the processes we do! There is also a "lessons learned" section - because not everything is sunshine and rainbows.
Bio: As an experienced .NET Engineer and a Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies in the heart of Zurich, Steven Giesel bring a substantial breadth of knowledge and expertise to each project.
His enthusiasm for technology goes beyond his professional endeavors - he actively maintains various open-source libraries (for example as co-maintainer for bUnit - a unit testing library for Blazor) and frequently speaks at user groups and conferences.
Furthermore, he has authored concise e-Books in .NET related topics, and peer-reviewed a book focused on building applications with Blazor WebAssembly.
Title: Looking back at 10 years of open-source community contributions
Who: Damien Bowden
Abstract: This talk is a reflection and looks at the positive and the negative sides of doing open-source community work. My views, recommendations and tips will be given in maintaining OSS projects, handling issues, and keeping a work life balance so that you can achieve the maximum for your investment.
The event will start at 05:30 PM, with some time for networking, and the first session starting at 6:00 PM. Location, drinks, and food are provided for this event by Swiss Life.
