Human Hacking

Compiled by an enthusiastic student of computer science and psychology with over 7 years' experience in the art of getting volunteers to build cool stuff, this talk starts by introducing a variety of ways that psychology models human behavior. It then relates each of them to helpful insights about community management, software usability, and open-source project and community leadership.

The advice in this talk is gathered from a variety of experiences including over 4 years in the robotics community, 2 years as president of a university Linux Users Group, founding a free DevOps education program, and collaboration with veterans of all branches of the FOSS community.
