🚀 Announcement: I'll be speaking at #AllThingsOpen this October, talking about "​​Finite Source Machines: Contribution for Busy Humans". I hope to see you there!

This topic continues to fuel me as I explore how to apply the lessons of Approachable Open Source into my contribution mechanics and strategy. I don't always get it right, but the incremental journey and collaborating with others is the big win.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Katherine Druckman, host of the #OpenatIntel podcast, at #AllThingsOpen last fall:

The conversation covers the importance of democratizing AI, reducing the fear and misconceptions surrounding AI technology, and making AI tools and concepts more accessible and understandable for everyone, including those who are not tech-savvy.
