Open Source Bridge 2010 is over!

Thanks for helping make Open Source Bridge 2010 a truly great event. Want to help us plan the 2011 event? Join our planning group!

Open Source Citizenship

What are the rights and responsibilities of an open source citizen? We’re exploring what open source means to us, what it offers, where we struggle, and why we do this day in and day out, even when we’re not paid for it.

Innovative Track Structure

Our session tracks are technology agnostic, based around shared community experiences and focus on the similarities between projects, not the differences. View the tracks.

All-Hours Hacker Lounge

The geekery doesn’t end when the sessions do. We’re also running a 24-hour hacker lounge for code sprints, bug bashes, bouncing ideas, starting new projects or just mingling and taking in the vibe.

100% Volunteer-Run

Your software is peer-produced. Why not your conference? Open Source Bridge is pioneered and planned by a team of open source developers and technologists. What’s more, we’ve built an open source application to manage talk proposals.

We’ll provide an overview of our plans for 2011, things we want to improve, outline our volunteer needs, and listen to your ideas about how you want to contribute.
