Open Source Day 2021

🤝 Open Source Day 2021 in Florence, Italy transitions from its digital origins to a fully in-person format, uniting open-source enthusiasts under one roof to share insights, exchange experiences, and forge stronger connections.

👩‍💻 Leading open-source developers and maintainers will showcase standout libraries, utilities, and frameworks. They’ll discuss challenges, breakthroughs, and the “Easter eggs” uncovered along the way, highlighting current trends in open-source ecosystems. Interactive Q&A sessions foster face-to-face dialogue, enabling participants to engage directly with speakers.

🌱 The program delves into how open-source tools are shaping modern infrastructure, featuring sessions on virtualization, cloud services, and data management. Real-world case studies and hands-on demonstrations offer attendees a chance to discover emerging resources for secure, cost-effective solutions beyond proprietary boundaries.

🧭 This event provides valuable insights for developers, IT leaders, and anyone involved in open-source initiatives. Beyond gaining technical perspectives, participants can meet peers, find potential collaborators, and immerse themselves in a community that values openness, inclusivity, and ongoing professional growth.

📅 Set for Autumn 2021, with a call-for-papers open until September 21, the conference supports both on-site attendance and online viewing. Additional registration and streaming details will be shared in advance. After the sessions, a relaxed meet-and-greet over refreshments invites easygoing chats, new connections, and a shared sense of purpose.
