Monthly Meeting: Val Henson, How to get paid to write open source

Valerie Henson will speak about how to write open source code and get paid for it, too. In the dreary post-dot com crash era, the conventional wisdom is that there are more qualified computer professionals job openings. In reality, the reverse is true in many areas of software development. Open source development is a fast-growing field; many Linux-related programming jobs go unfilled for 6 months or more for lack of qualified applicants. Val will talk about how to prepare for a job in open source, how to look for one, and what to do with the job once you have it.
