SCaLE 14x series

We'll kick off our SCaLE 14x series on Monday, January 11. The series includes interviews with speakers and in-depth articles about the projects, technologies, and topics they'll discuss at the event.

SCaLE is already incredibly affordable, but you use the discount code OPEN to get a 40% discount off registration.

Getting started in open source

On January 18, we'll launch a series of articles focused on how to get start in open source. Can't wait until January 18? Neither could we, which is why we posted an article by Chris Aniszczyk (How students can get started contributing to open source software) early.
