Thanks to everyone who came out to my presentation today on How To Be a Good Open Source Citizen.  I hope you learned a ton and are excited to start moving from a consumer to a contributor.  It was great to have you.  I was so excited that when I got back Markus Schneebeli had forked my preso and corrected a spelling mistake I had.  That is real open source.  

You can find the code for it at https://github.com/gratzc/how-to-be-a-good-os-citizen or you can just view the presentation online at http://gratzc.github.io/how-to-be-a-good-os-citizen/#/intro.

I have arrived in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland to speak at this years Scotch on the Rocks conference.  I am very excited to meet new people and learn lots of new things.  The conference hotel is nice and the staff has been very friendly.  I enjoyed my first day in Scotland and even had some Haggis for breakfast.
