Pitch for open source contributions on #github - very visible, easy to measure could be one factor

@Faisal_Siddiqi that measures quantity of contributions...how to measure quality?

@Faisal_Siddiqi community votes?

@Faisal_Siddiqi totally agree but what if repos are private do people share those? What about community data?

I think Open Badges are a good start. I'll be talking about DXC's Open Badges in AI in just a bit.

@Faisal_Siddiqi how do we ensure the contributions are actually used? Is there a way to measure?

like most markets... it's whether your open reputation can establish a relative value both in skill and potential

@dvellante Exactly - reputation is a complex equation, internal and external factors all contribute

@dvellante quality is hard to measure quantitatively.. but your participation in high quality projects (internet scale success) can be a measure of quality and potential?

we're going to have @Faisal_Siddiqi talk about #blockchain and reputation soon ;)

@srini_varadhan Contributions to existing popular #opensource projects tend to be more highly used. All - ask me how to contribute

@JerryAOverton Is open badges open source code?

@DanHushon contributions and associations with high value projects - this can be quantified

@Faisal_Siddiqi contributions to the Open Group workgroups can also help build our digital reputation. BTW DXC is a Platinum member of Open Group..

@dvellante just ask the team to "recount critical contributions" and then ML can do the rest

Hands-on projects. Challenge is finding appropriate projects where you can learn.

Just wanted to say hi to @drbobsays and thanks for joining. Agree, hands-on is where you really learn. That, and writing about it.

@drbobsays I find that to be the most challenging and most rewarding route to learning anything new. Personally, I use a combination of videos and hands-on projects.

@LisaAnneBraun Oooh, yeah. Writing about it is a great way to learn as well. It's not typical to think of writing as a learning exercise, but it is.

Google :) in whatever format; doesn't matter :P

fork, improve, contribute... next

Yes definitely. Just heard someone else (different context) say same--they wanted to make sure they understood/mastered something so started writing about it.

Some videos are fine. I've looked at some related to security certs. Tend to be too high level.

we built a new site for video theCUBE archives theCube.net search the cubealumni and you'll find some personas that might interest you; Dan is in there

We've seen data over the years with our videos that people learning in a non linear progression so a new kinds of discovery is happening. Immerse yourself in a community, and just consume content and iterate that in social way. Seems to work

@DanHushon from the CTO of such a big company, I find this statement sends a very strong message to the technologists out there.

@furrier Oh this is cool: https://www.thecube.... @danhushon

@DanHushon Yep. I consider this to be a form of writing and related to Lisa's comment

@ArinDey So like, google search? Just type in a term and see where it takes you?

quick learning, often using videos, then a series of practice sessions spaced over time.

Online courses then projects (internal first then client)

#HandsOn is #1 way I pick up new things. Code something, build something - there's just no downside

@Faisal_Siddiqi Agreed. And remember to share your work once you're done. It's amazing how much more you learn by getting peer feedback. And it's amazing how much others benefit from you sharing your work.

@furrier the non-linear progression was the point about journeys (semi-random walks) vs. paths (constrained execution)..

@DanHushon I've always said you have a clear view of the future of work! You are on it man!

I want to join

I want :)

Seriously we are opening up our media data platform with new influence token soon. What if all the media data in our platform was open for all and users owned their data

Mariano Silva, John Cho and Kurt Wayenberg are active on this

and @JerryAOverton, how can we enable partners, clients, etc from outside to contribute here? We already have @furrier wanting to sign up.

I'm in!

the project can be [should be] done in a public repo for sure

. @Faisal_Siddiqi I am a believer that token economics will change the nature of community and the role of people and data will play in it.

I have this open site for alpha sandbox is you want to see what we can contribute to the project http://communities.c...

blockchain is a great use case for managing proof of stake/work/reputation/lots others too

#OpenBadges on #Blockchains

can you send me info on how to get involved

this is great idea. How can we get involve? When will it be available?

I'll ask Mariano to post details of the project on FB@work here https://dxc.facebook...

Coursera and Udemy are my go-to for theory dense stuff, You-Tube for when I need to do/or see how to do something right now (eg change a tyre/code a spreadsheet).

Coursera (too many topics to list), YouTube for quick micro-learning, Twitter to stay in touch with current thinking.

https://www.coursera... Had to revise my calculus classes from graduation though

Hope to pickup the Cryptocurrecy course soon.

Here is a repost from the Arch Office... this looks like a great resource... the open source Archimate Tool.
