Join us in New York City on July 30th for the Women+ in Open Source Forum, a premier gathering dedicated to the people shaping the future of open source technology. Open source is built on collaboration, yet women and underrepresented genders remain minority voices in the community. This event is designed to change that narrative by creating a dedicated space to celebrate achievements and build a more inclusive pipeline for the future of software development.
Experience a comprehensive agenda featuring industry leaders, including a keynote from Nithya Ruff of the Linux Foundation and a fireside chat with Angie Jones. From deep-dive sessions on the sustainability of OSS contributors to practical guides on navigating open source paths, the day offers a blend of technical insight and professional growth. Whether you are looking for mentorship or wanting to share your expertise, this forum provides the visibility and connection needed to thrive.
The day concludes with a dynamic closing panel on the personas of open source and a celebratory happy hour. Come for the inspiration and stay for the community as we work together to ensure every perspective is represented in the code. Let's build a more equitable and sustainable open source ecosystem together.
