<p>In a way it's a nice way to share our origin stories :)<br>

<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>How did you get started coding useful projects? How much of
the process was purely tech, and how much was driven by being
part of a community? For example, if you got started by coding
a game, were you thinking of the audience? If you started by
making websites, were they needed by a real community?</dd>
</dl>
<p>This talk proposes that it is hard to learn the skills needed
to create useful tech projects in a vacuum. It invites a
discussion to find out what were the community processes and
needs that help motivate and support new coders and designers to
overcome challenges. Also, if you wanted to replicate that to
teach the next generation how could that happen. </p>
<p>Let's share examples and experiences. Also, let's try to
quickly map what is already out there and how well it approaches
learning in this way. </p>
