DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, people want to contribute to open source softwar
 e projects casually (episodically). A number of factors have driven this c
 hange\, such as distributed revision control\, social coding platforms\, a
 nd the general trend towards “new volunteerism.” To take advantage of 
 these contributions\, communities need to adapt to the needs and expectati
 ons of episodic contributors. Yet at the same time\, no community wants to
  invest more effort in inviting episodic contributions than it receives in
  return. This talk will cover research on the factors influencing retentio
 n of episodic participants\, and best practices for engaging them.\n\nSpea
