We believe that, in technology generally and open source particularly, there are enthusiastic people waiting to get involved. Our events are about finding those people and offering to empower them with technology and tech communities.
We focus on bringing new people into existing communities; we want our outreach efforts to be visible to existing community members, and the communities form a supportive group for newcomers. This page documents the outreach events and presentations that are part of OpenHatch.
Anyone can make an event part of OpenHatch. To do so, an event organizer just needs to reach out to an OpenHatch contributor and explain how the event fits into our mission.
