**WHAT ARE IN PRACTICE MEETUPS?**
"In Practice" meetups provide an opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in the Talk format meeting that precedes it and to contribute to an existing or new Open Source project.
For new contributors, there will be seasoned contributors and projects maintainers available during the Meetup to help direct you through the process. All contributions, from code to graphic design and documentation are welcome.
If you've always wanted to get involved in Open Source or work on projects with other developers in the community this is a great way to start!
**WHAT IS THE TOPIC FOR THIS SESSION?**
As a follow-up to North Seattle Tech Talk's first Meetup we will be working with Open Source projects to apply security principles and best practices.
If you were unable to attend the talk format meetup, or need a refresher on the topics discussed, please see the slides from the event:

**WHAT IS THE FORMAT?**
Following a quick introduction of the OpenSource projects available to collaborate on, attendees will split up in groups based on the project to which they would like to contribute.
Each of the groups will be lead by at least 1 maintainer or seasoned contributor of the project with a set of goals in-hand. Groups will work together to work on their respective project and then each group will get a chance to share their progress at the end of the meetup.
