Considered contributing to open source?

I teach and write libraries. Gives me that nice "I made this" feeling. Career-boosting too.

How did you get into teaching?

I'm interested - although I will have to work on my exposition / pedagogic skills (that's why they say the teacher learns the most in classes :) ).

I offer to teach people online and I have an IRC channel called #haskell-beginners on Freenode.

People go through my course: https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell

And when they get stuck, they ask questions.

I'll begin giving local classes soon. I'm giving a talk the 19th in Austin.
