Overview
Details
Open Source Summit is the premier event for open source developers and contributors. It’s where maintainers, technologists, and community leaders come together to share knowledge, collaborate on solutions, and push open source projects forward. It’s the home for code, community, and the people driving the future of open source.
A Cross-Domain Home for the Entire Open Source Ecosystem
Open Source Summit is not a single-focus, niche event—it’s the big tent that unites the full spectrum of open source technologies and communities. Whether you work in cloud infrastructure, Linux kernel development, AI/ML, embedded systems, DevOps, security, or safety-critical systems, Open Source Summit offers a shared space to exchange ideas, make connections, and learn across domains. It’s where technologists who don’t typically land in the same room get a chance to collaborate.
At the same time, Open Source Summit brings in the leaders and practitioners who support the ecosystem from non-technical angles: open source program office (OSPO) staff, legal experts, policy advocates, standards organizations, equity champions, community managers, and foundation leaders. Together, they help shape the frameworks, culture, and strategy that make open source work.
A Strategic Gathering for Open Source’s Future
This event serves as a strategic checkpoint for the open source movement. It’s where conversations happen about not only what’s being built—but how and why. From sustainability and funding models to licensing, AI alignment, security, and governance, Open Source Summit brings clarity and direction to a fast-changing open source landscape.
Whether you’re deep in code or focused on enabling the communities and structures that support it, this is where your work gains momentum and impact.
