We are very pleased to announce the session lineup for this year’s Open Source Bridge conference! These talks will be given as part of our 4-day event June 26th through the 29th in Portland, Oregon. We received hundreds of excellent presentation proposals, community comments, and other feedback, and our diverse selection committee was very busy carefully reviewing everything.
This year’s conference features knowledgeable speakers covering a broad range of open source topics. So, if you’ve been holding off on registering, now is a great time to do so!
We’re still finalizing the session schedule for Open Source Bridge, and plan to announce that in the very near future as well.
