A pervasive elitism hovers in the background of collaborative software development: everyone secretly wants to be seen as a genius. In this talk, we discuss how to avoid this trap and gracefully exchange personal ego for personal growth and super-charged collaboration. We'll also examine how software tools affect social behaviors, and how to successfully manage the growth of new ideas.

Git is a distributed version control system with easy branching that has forever changed the way that open source projects accept contributions. By embracing a pattern of casual forking, the barrier to submit patches and track upstream changes is reduced, resulting in an explosion of contributors and patches. This talk will use case studies to illustrate how your project can enjoy these benefits.
