117: Open Source Commons with Cori O' Brien Part 1

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a two-part episode as we go over the Open Source Commons and the Open Source Community Sprint, including the amazing projects that have come out from them. Joining us today is Cori O' Brien, Senior Manager of Open Source Commons at Salesforce.org. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Sprint events provide an opportunity for people to come together and improve or build on software, Open Source Commons is the program that encompasses the Sprint events. That includes the training opportunities, mentor-mentorship opportunities, access to tooling and review, and AppExchange. At the heart of Open Source Commons are Community Sprint events where people get to engage directly and work side by side.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cori’s role is to make sure the Salesforce community has what they need to contribute in whatever way they want to contribute. What started out as “just events” providing space for people to contribute has ultimately become a powerhouse for training and tools to ensure they’re building trust and sustainability.</span></p> <p><strong>Show Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cori’s introduction to Salesforce</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Partnering with the Salesforce Labs program</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sprint vs. Open Source Commons</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Open Source Commons package is free and managed</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Breaking the silos between nonprofit success pack and the education community </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Types of roles for people to participate</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style
