#ChatOpenS Q.5 they're just way more flexible and agile! My favourite thing about OSS tools is the vast community behind them all contributing to make it better-- just need ever more people to take part!
Q5: I like being able to say “this is the (insert OSS tool) that I use to do this thing.” It’s recruitment by way of showing— not telling— that a specific OSS tool is useful. It’s also like an introduction to the larger world of OSS that’s less overwhelming. #ChatOpenS https://twitter.com/equinoxoli/status/1438183188019519494
Fitting in one more - Q5: Have you introduced any colleagues/friends to OSS? What was your elevator speech? How can we grow the community of OSS adopters & contributors? #ChatOpenS
