All Things Open 2016
Join the world’s top developers, technologists, and decision makers as we explore open source, open tech, and the open web in the enterprise. Two days of keynotes, talks, tutorials, workshops and networking opportunities in Raleigh and the Research Triangle area. In our never-ending quest to stay on top of a quickly changing open source landscape, we’re happy to announce a few new tracks will be featured at the conference this year. Each track is the result of attendee feedback after the 2015 conference, as well as our own research and daily communication.
