Open Source - the base of the internet, of any product development, and even of your (professional) life.

Open Source software (OS) has been a long time coming. It is easily more than half a century. The chances are that it is old enough to be your dad. Despite its age, it is growing and evolving in leaps and bounds at every turn. According to a global survey*, most companies (77%) currently use OS. The number one reason is innovation, placing the cost in second place. 

We argue that you can't code, evolve your product or even live your (professional) life without some OS. It turns the Internet's virtual wheels and keeps changing our (tech) world.

Abid Husnain
The Software Engineer

Living the life of an open-source developer often depends on your passion. However, you make your living off the code you produce from 9 to 5, but it might not involve your heart. Is it possible to combine the two - hack open source in a corporate setting and get paid for it? Come and hear how Abid Husein managed this trick with his colleagues and customers.

About LeanTribe

In this Lean Tribe, we will create a space where everyone involved can share their values and ideas. We will gather passionate experts who will talk about subjects related to AI and you as the audience will have the opportunity to discuss and share your experiences on the different topics with them. 

This will be done during our Open Space session. The Open Space is a gathering after the presentations that is characterized by creativity and openness. 

We welcome everyone regardless of whether you are a student who is curious to learn more or an expert looking for new perspectives.

About Devtribe

We meet to share ideas, experiences, and mistakes generously. No one is an expert, but everyone has something to share. The schedule follows a solid form that has proven to be sustainable: a common theme, a few short thought-provoking speeches, and then an open forum where you talk in groups created dynamically according to interest. The layout of a DevTribe always follows a fixed form.

THEME

When the event is planned, a theme that is advertised in the network is also determined. The theme should preferably be current, exciting, and reasonably narrow. Not so diffuse that you do not know what it's about, but also not so narrow that there is no room for new angles. After that, there is a request for speakers, and anyone can sign up.

LIGHTNING TALK

Lightning talks are concise, and a typical length is about 10 min. The speaker may speak undisturbed and may use his time at will. It is common to share something based on your own experience that can be helpful to others. If the event is half a day, you often have about four lightning talks, and on a full day, there is usually room for almost twice as many.

OPEN SPACE

This step often becomes dynamic and creative. The idea is that those who have listened should pick up certain aspects from the lightning talks speeches that they want to talk more about. It can be something you want to know more about or perhaps ventilate your own experiences on the theme. Each person who has suggestions for topics to talk about writes a post-it note and argues for their cause. Then we vote together on which topics we should prioritize. When that is done, we create small groups where we share our thoughts based on the topics. No one is a leader, and everyone is responsible for contributing to a rewarding exchange.

When you go home after a "tribe gathering," your head is full of new ideas that you want to apply. In addition, one has often made many valuable contacts and gained useful insight into other contexts.
