Here’s what we’re bringing — and we hope you’ll find it valuable!
Open Format for Open Projects
Every maintainer faces different challenges — so why box you into a single format?
Pick what works best for you:
Demo
Great for new projects or those with major updates
Workshop
Teach others how to use your tool and showcase its value
Brainstorming
Explore what’s missing or how to improve your tool with real users
Hacking Sessions
Prepare some tasks and collaborate — your next contributor might be in the room!
Got another idea? Let us know — we’ll support it.
How It
Works
Prepare short onboarding materials and a guide — we’ll share them with attendees ahead of time
On Friday, June 13, we’ll start with 3-minute lightning talks, followed by 4–5 hours of hands-on sessions in groups
We expect ~200 attendees and ~20 projects, but group sizes are up to you — we believe self-organization works best
Organizers and volunteers will be nearby to help with anything you need
Free ticket for the maintainer, participant kit, and hotel discount
A stage with screen, mic, and clicker for lightning talks
Tables and chairs for campfire-style group work
Power outlets
Pens, paper, sticky notes
Monitors and extras (upon request)
You're free to bring and use your own gear — just let us know in advance.
We’re happy to discuss any custom needs and will do our best to support them, depending on budget and logistics.
