A show and tell session by a seasoned latvian developer Toms Bauģis

A show and tell session by a seasoned latvian developer Toms Bauģis. The show&tell is mainly targeted at developers both experienced and becoming. Toms will share his story of how he got into open source, what challenges he met and what he got out of it and through that to everyday practicalities of a geographically distributed agile software company and why it is good to have the closest colleague 800 kilometers away. Toms is the original author and maintainer of an open source time tracking application "Project Hamster" and UI/UX developer of a NY based start-up company parse.ly. Parsely's flagship product Dash is a web analytics tool geared specifically towards large scale publishers and gives the best insight around the most meaningful metrics on their sites and across the web.
