This is intended to be a informal walkthrough of a couple of devouts projects on github that I currently am involved with. I can discuss how these open source projects build systems and CI systems and communication systems closely mirror those in private companies. I intend to take questions throughout the walkthrough and the discussion will lead to interesting places.

There is a way of doing things that is simpler and more straightforward and more easily accessible and that is often has to involve using Git. IaC, etc.
The skills fpr FOSS contribution are almost identical to private proprietary contribution as you would at most employers
