mvc

- paid labor

- vague mental idea that open source was probably a good idea

- who are these people who come to open source comes to campus? what state
are they in?

- "You are invited"
  -

- hobby thing vs. identity thing vs. useful thing

- shauna wants to ... values...
  - along the idea of identity, communities arising around shared values
  - complicated the values of "open source people" to create a more diverse
community
  - self-learners...
    - that's not the only way you have to be
    - it takes people and gives them a little "Here are cultural values
about open source"
      "check it out, you almost fit here"
  - adding imposter syndrome exercises
  - demystifies things...
  - and now you know the shape of it
  - makes that path open in the future
  - being able to visualize ... role modeling, representation
  - britta took this clas on feminism, and later in her life, realized she
could
    become a feminist activist

setting expectations

- openstack

- welcomebot


the inequalities of leaving knowledge implicit
- implicit knowledge is shared through close social relationships
- explicit knowledge is freely shareable

1. OSCTC

91.5. Spinachcon/setup sprints

expectation of failure


2. Merge Stories




- free software's welcoming committee
  -


- MVC contributors -- julia pagano, presumably




- ehashman says, Breaking down story the richard stallman image of free
software

- OPW




by handholding people into open source, do we make it worse?


merge stories


---

what is the typical model view culture reader, and what do we want them
to get out of the article?

base assumptions:

- diversity is good

- power structures are important to pay attention to

- there are problems in open source

- talking about things is part of the solution

- stories/anecodotes are useful, perhaps even better than data



what have been good?

- feminist hackerspace article

- shanley's article on tech workers

- 5 reasons not to raise venture capital

- contrarian-ish
