Future of Open Source

This new track follows from the feedback received that the State of Open Con Plenary sessions should be longer. Our day one Plenary consists of keynotes and panel sessions on the future of open source, a broad-ranging topic focused on the challenges of today and the future.

World leaders in the space will kick the day off by considering the grand challenges in the evolving open source landscape and strategic vision for its future.

The remainder of the day will have content largely submitted via CFP and some curated content.

Our team will look forward to your submissions of talks and panels covering a wide range of topics from a policy, community and business perspective.

A wider range of topics is relevant and might include Licence change and single vendor companies, Funding open source and its future, Forking and the Hammer of Valkey, GeoPolitics and open source regulation, building sustainable open source software, scaling open source businesses, the role of State Aid, Sustainability and the impact of open tech on the environment, Will AI kill open source software, and much more.
