OpenCon 2016

Many (if not all) of the participants at OpenCon are convinced by the moral imperative to work openly. However, paying your rent and ensuring you have food on the table are hugely important! Currently most career progression rewards closed working habits. The only way we will change that culture is to ensure open advocates rise to positions in which they are able to change, for example, hiring and funding criteria. This workshop will crowd source and then discuss various ways in which you can harness open to advance your career. You will leave feeling motivated to continue to working in, or adjacent to, a traditionally closed system, and empowered to change it!
