Everything open source
May 16–17, 2016: Training & Tutorials
May 18–19, 2016: Conference
Austin, TX

Once considered a radical upstart, open source has moved from disruption to default, transforming the practice of software development.

Collaborative and transparent, open source has become modus operandi, powering the current state of innovation in technology from the cloud and data to AI, connected devices, and beyond.

But what does that mean for you, the software developer, the startup, project manager, or organization (from small nonprofits to the largest enterprises) that wants to use open source?
