Tracy Lee: How to Get Involved in Open Source: A Quickstart Guide
How do you get involved in open source? This is a question I get asked a lot, and surprisingly, it's not as difficult as you may think. In this talk we'll discuss the WHY and HOW related to open source contributions, and also touch on the DOs and DONTs so you can be successful today!

TALK 2
David Khourshid: Making Application Logic Visually Collaborative
Logic is much more than just code. It is the user flows, the diagrams, the user stories, and the business logic that are shared with developers, designers, project managers, and other stakeholders. In this talk, we'll explore tools and techniques for unlocking application logic and making it accessible to everyone, in a highly collaborative, visual way, and how to use them in your React applications.
