About Me
I am currently Sticker Mule's Director of Developer Relations and is responsible for championing the needs of Open Source developers. Previously, I worked as an Open Source advocate for MaxCDN.
I co-founded BootstrapCDN in 2012 and is heavily involved with the FOSS community contributing to Bootstrap, Font Awesome, Grunt, FSF, jQuery Foundation, Twemoji, Nginx & GNU Bash.
I also serve on the Selection Committee for Mozilla's Open Source Support (MOSS) program as well a co-founder/organizer of Sustain, a one-day event for Open Source Software sustainers.
Why I'm Running
Since 2010 I have had a calendar event called "My Goals" alert me once a month. One of those goals from the get-go is "Contribute more back to the Open Source community". As an Open Source maintainer, contributor, and sustainer, I am proud of my accomplishments. I know if I'm given this opportunity, I will be able to make more impactful contributions than ever.
Agenda
- Membership growth is key. I believe there are many ways to get incentives (e.g. AWS/GCP/Azure service credits) from Premium Sponsors to keep and attract new members.
- Look for simple ways to increase donation revenue like encouraging members to use Amazon Smile and choose "Open Source Initiative" as the charitable organization (example).
Contributions I made to OSI
- Booth Volunteer at SCaLE 14x (photos) & 15x
- OSCON talk about OSI/SCaLE 14x (3 attendees signed up for an OSI membership after talk)
- OpenSource.net Timeline
- Crisp high-5 anytime I see Patrick Masson at a conference...
