Happy New Year, dear readers! Opensource.com has a ton of great plans for 2017.
In January, we'll kick off the year with a series focused on getting started in open source. Articles begin publishing January 9. Then, in February, we hope to help job seekers and those looking to improve their careers with a series on interview advice, top jobs in open source, and stories from seasoned open source professionals.
To submit an article idea for the Careers in Open Source series, complete our webform by January 11.
Sneak peek: In March, to celebrate Pi Day on 3/14, we'll focus on Raspberry Pi tutorials and projects. Go ahead and submit your story idea.
Happy birthday to us
Opensource.com's birthday is on January 25! Mark your calendars to vote on our top authors and articles later in January. Then, we'll announce awards celebrating our amazing community.
Find us at linux.conf.au
Will you be attending linux.conf.au (LCA) in Hobart this month? If so, be on the lookout for members of the Opensource.com community. Community moderators Deb Nicholson and VM "Vicky" Brasseur will be speaking and leading mini-confs. Deb (along with Donna Benjamin) will be leading the Free Software Law and Policy mini-conf, and Vicky will be leading Community Leadership Summit X. Long-time contributor Richard Fontana will give a talk called Why Haven't You Licensed Your Product?, and Opensource.com community manager Rikki Endsley will talk about the Proper Care and Feeding of Communities and Carnivorous Plants. Additional writers and interviewees will be speaking at the event, and we'll publish LCA preview articles from speakers soon.
Open Source Yearbook 2016
We'll wrap up our annual Open Source Yearbook series this month and roll out the complete yearbook as a free download. Don't miss the new collection and check out our 2015 edition.
Open Organization
Last month, the open organization ambassadors at Opensource.com put their heads together and developed a working definition of open organizations—freely licensed, and available for forking and remixing. In January, I hear, they'll be expanding on the definition to produce even more resources for readers hoping to make their organizations more open this year. And Jim Whitehurst is currently putting together his list of 2017 open organization resolutions. Stay tuned for that!
