#OSS creates heroes...you can be next!!!
What drives the heroes of open source projects...is it fame, is it a road to an MVP or something like it, what is the actual drive behind all this hard labor?
In this session we will dig down and have a look at what drives magnificent people in the industry. It's not always for the carrot in front and it sure ain't due to the threat of being beaten with a stick. It might not be for the awesome reference on the CV, but when we have passed through all the obvious reasons standing out we look at the deeper meanings behind our sleepless hours. We all have a great piece of motivation in our mind...we just need to find it.
Why do some become heroes of open source projects ? Is it the glory, fame and appreciation from our peers ? Is it a road to a title like e.g MVP or simply to have something to put some energy and goodwill into ?
The reasons why can differ of course, but sit back and let us dig down into what it takes to actual drive an open source project and how it feels to commit to the challenge ?
In the end of the session, and when we have passed through all the obvious reasons standing out, we will look at the deeper meaning behind our sleepless nights and strong focus. All developers should have motivation for doing open source - perhaps we just need to find it.
