In three short weeks, TideLift will be hosting some amazing open source community leaders and celebrating the awesome open source maintainers who keep the world spinning. Join us June 7 for our first-ever, one-day, free virtual gathering to celebrate open source, the developers who use it, and the maintainers who create it.

We just finalized the agenda, and wow! Check out this line-up:

  • Maintainers like John Leider of Vuetify, Val Karpov of Mongoose, Jordan Harband of hundreds of npm projects, Forbes Lindesay of Pug, and Roel Spilker and Reiner Zwitserloot of Project Lombok will share their stories
  • Sarah Novotny of Microsoft will discuss open source as an innovation engine
  • Deb Bryant from Red Hat will explore what it means for businesses to "create authentic value" with open source
  • Brian Douglas of GitHub will talk about open source hospitality and how to attract new contributors
