Just a Bit of Git
If you’re reading this, you’re likely well acquainted with Evergreen, and you’ve likely heard talk about Git. Git is a powerful tool that is used to manage changes in the Evergreen code. Even if you don’t write code, or barely (or never) even look at code, having a basic understanding of what Git is, what it can do and how it applies to Evergreen can be valuable to anyone involved with the Evergreen community. In this session, we’ll take a few steps back from the command line and look at some broad concepts and basics to get you more familiar with the power and usefulness of git.
Building a Culture of Open Source Contribution
Community contributions are critical to the success and sustainability of the Evergreen project. Most of these contributions are expected to come from employees of Evergreen libraries, consortia and service providers, but other work responsibilities often take priority, leading to inconsistent work on the project. How can managers build a culture where open-source contributions are valued and encouraged? In this session, leaders from Bibliomation, Georgia PINES, and NOBLE will share their methods for encouraging staff to be active participants in the Evergreen community. Attendees are invited to bring their own tips and ideas for ensuring their organizations are actively working with the community.
