Mario Garcia (Technical Evangelist) will be presenting his talk My Open Source Journey: From Contributor to Technical Evangelist at Open Source Software Contributors Summit on November 11 and 12 in Mexico. 

Community and philosophy behind, and the idea that many people benefit from any contribution you make is what attracted me to Open Source source. With this in mind, I started contributing after my first approach to Linux back in 2006. Mozilla, GitLab, GitKraken, HashiCorp, and TerminusDB are some of the organizations I’ve been involved with through the years, being a volunteer, an active contributor, or an intern. Localization, documentation, evangelism, mentorship, and training are some of the areas I’ve made contributions to. All this previous experience let me get the position I had dreamed of, Technical Evangelist at Percona, a company I joined a few months ago. This talk is about how contributing to Open Source projects can help you build your career, and lessons I can share about my own experience.

About the event.

Open Source Software Contributors Summit (CCOSS) is an event with different activities (talks, workshops, mentorship, networking) that aims to increase contributions to Open Source in Latin America.
