A World-wide Open Source Summit: Build your local community, while engaging the global community.

The State of the Source Summit invites open source communities of practice from around the world to organize and contribute to a global conversation on the current state of open source software: non-technical issues that foster development and community, the licenses that enable collaboration, the practices that promote contribution, and the issues confronting cooperation.

Conference Goals

Share the current state of open source licenses: understanding their value and impediments to further adoption.
Identify current, non-technical, issues affecting open source software, development, and communities through the lenses of developers, companies, and projects.
Conceptualize and plan for what the future may hold for open source software as a community and the Open Source Initiative as an organization.
