2010 Call for Proposals is open!

We would love to hear all of those interesting ideas you have in your head---and so would everyone else. That's why we will be accepting your proposals for Open Source Bridge through March 25. View the Call for Proposals

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.
