In this MOSE Short Nithya Ruff, Ildiko and Phil talk about gains and growth that individuals get involved in open source communities, which then also benefit their employer, if they are participating on behalf of a company. The group discusses skill development, both soft and tech skills that people pick up in communities without ever going to trainings, and also touches on academia, mentorship programs and how participating in open source communities can change students' lives and set them up for a successful career!
