Contributing to Open Source Security

Need experience to get a job, but need a job to get experience?

Consider contributing to open source security.

Want to be a part of something impactful in your free time?

Consider contributing to open source security.

If you want to gain real-world experience with modern technologies without submitting a single resume, expand your knowledge of security domains in collaboration with subject matter experts without paying tuition, and see the impact of your work in security projects used all over the world without a commute...then I'd say that's pretty reasonable, and perhaps more accessible than you think. From writing code, to improving documentation, to quality assurance, to organizing and volunteering at events - both in-person and virtual - there are many ways to get involved.

In this talk we will discuss several open source security projects, opportunities to contribute to open source security, and how to get started.
