Community Track Overview

The difference between a successful open source project and/or consumption/contribution experience and a not-so-successful one is often community.

Because if this we’ll feature an entire track dedicated to the topic on Monday, October 28 and Tuesday, October 29. Experts and thought leaders from all over the U.S. and the world will be speaking and participating.

See who will be speaking below, and register now to attend in person.
