Open source is a lifestyle, an attitude towards sharing knowledge and ideas.

This can be as simple to share your notes taken at a conference to fellow colleagues. Or blog about challenges you’ve experienced and solutions solving particular problems.

Giving a talk at a bar camp, user group meeting, (un)conference or at the office for your team mates supports the open source spirit and it will make you more comfortable speaking for an audience.

Last but not least, look for an open source project you’re interested in. You can help out by writing documentation, do translations, fix bugs or even contribute code.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need a new challenge in your professional life track, know that there is a whole community out there ready to help out.

Community works!
