🎯 What to expect ?

🗣️ Session 1: Open Source in Transition: AI, Economics, and What Comes Next?

This talk moves past conventional contribution guides to ask a fundamental question: What is open source, and why has it always been more than just code? We'll explore the open-source ecosystem; its contributors, maintainers, and programs, while examining how different forms of contribution are valued and the persistent challenge of maintainer burnout. Finally, we'll consider how evolving AI tools are reshaping contribution patterns and what this means for building a sustainable future in open source.

🗣️ Session 2: Incidents are Inevitable: Shifting from Failure to Resilience

Incidents are not engineering failures; they are an part of running complex systems. How any team handles production issues and incidents separates the resilient teams from rest. successful incident management is less about heroics and more about process, preparation, and people. Drawing from real-world DevOps and production experiences, We will explore the practical realities of incident management - what works under pressure and what does not.
