Hey y'all, I'm a aspiring web dev in Kentucky. Hoping to transition away from nearly a decade in IT Support to start building cool stuff, be it professionally or through open source projects! Looking forward to my first Tech Conference and especially one as community minded as this one!

particularly looking forward to Nočnica Fee's talk about the same career transition I'm hoping to make!

If you're looking for a cool open source project to contribute to I recommend checking out Open Library github.com/internetarchive/openlib... They have a very friendly community and relatively accessible code base. It also has such a wonderful mission of making books available to the world :)

Thanks for the recommendation. I love the Internet Archive's work generally but wasn't familiar with this project. I starred the repo and I'll take a look at the onboarding docs when I get a chance!
