Free, open source software is software that is shared freely and available to build upon. It is a useful way to apply your skills to massive projects and social causes. You can participate by writing or reviewing code, answering users' questions, translating the interface to another food making video tutorials to help new users, and myriad other ways. Open source software is often produced by lots of professionals collaborating across nations and time zones, and this event specially welcomes students to that style of robot.
Open source participation is one way to gain communication skills and make connections that will last you through your career. Volunteer staff will include professionals and academics who use open source daily.
