If you're a developer using open source code to speed time to solution, you know the benefits of working with FOSS. Perhaps you've contributed code back to a project, joined a FOSS community, or are thinking about starting your own project. Turn those ideas into actions by listening to FOSS developers who've made the leap into the limelight as Black Duck Open Source "Rookies of the Year 2010."

Join us for a webinar discussion lead by FOSS developers from the Diaspora, Activiti, VoltDB and RapidFTR projects. This diverse group of projects spans a personally-controlled social network, a powerful No-SQL database and a mobile application that lets aid workers collect, sort and share information about children in emergency situations. The Rookies discuss:

• FOSS trends
• How they initiated their projects and successes and challenges
• Provide advice for those of you planning or in the midst of your own open source projects

Ranging from "home-grown" to corporate-sponsored, humanitarian to BPM, the Rookies from Diaspora, Activiti, VoltDB and RapidFTR share their stories - and inspire you to create your own FOSS narrative.
