In-depth coverage of OpenHatch program director Shauna Gordon-McKeon’s
talk at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing: GHC ’14 –
OpenHatch Open Source Workshop & Getting Into GitHub
<http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/ghc14-day1/>:

    I was surprised that Shauna Gordon-McKeon, Program Director at
    OpenHatch, didn’t actually discuss the project much. Instead, she
    gave a quick, practical introduction to open source, which makes
    sense because the vast majority of GHC ’14 attendees aren’t active
    in open source communities. Yet.

    OpenHatch is a non-profit that helps prospective open source
    contributors get up to speed on open source culture and find the
    right project fit. Her talk was a concise version of a bigger
    workshop OpenHatch offers, called Open Source Comes to Campus
    <http://campus.openhatch.org/>. If you or someone you know needs a
    1-hour intro to open source, Shauna’s GHC ’14 slides
    <http://shaunagm.github.io/personal/ghc2014.html> are a good
    starting point.

Also, based on an interview with Shauna at GHC: How To Get Started In
Open Source, Especially if you’re not a white male.
