Ever wondered what it is about open source software that makes people want to give so freely of their time?
Well, this podcast for open-source contributors, future, past and present, by open-source contributors, is your one-stop shop to answering that question. We meet fortnightly to discuss all things open-source; everything from the work itself to the communities we find ourselves in. Expect insight, ideas and idle chatter from four experienced developers: Lotte Pitcher, Carole Logan, Laura Weatherhead and Emma Burstow.

We are also joined by Allen Smith, the newest addition to the Developer Relations team at Umbraco. We talk about his experiences at GitHub, how he defines developer relations, what he's looking forward to in the year ahead, and what not to name your record label...

Having a good workplace culture leads to happy, productive developers. But what makes it 'good'? It’s not the same for everyone. We talk about workplace culture and the different environments we’ve witnessed from Silicon Valley to Denmark via the UK...
We also chat vegetables (of course), paddle boarding and the tennis/squash hybrid called padel!

We’re very excited to be joined by Maria Naggaga from Microsoft for this episode. Maria has been breaking down barriers both personally, being a woman of colour in tech, and professionally with projects focused on making it easier for people to learn and use .NET.
We discuss her achievements at Microsoft, what it’s like working in open source on such a large scale, and what effect we - the open source community - have on Microsoft.
