Contribute to Open Source! Everyone tells you that you need to. What if you don't want to run an Open Source project? What if you just need something to work? What if you just want to use Open Source, can you still make a contribution? Of course you can! In this talk we will look at three broad groupings of roles that you can play in any Open Source project. Take a look around, find your role and your project and make a difference.

Great idea for a keynote. I heard from various people that started identifying with one group or another.

A perfect keynote not just for PHP but anything OSS! Really enjoyed the talk and left motivated and Ready to Rock (or maybe it was just to help with the soundcheck). Regardless very good talk and something we could all identify with.

Truly inspirational. Entertaining and informative at the same time. I could listen to this guy for hours.
