Open source is everywhere

OSCON is at the forefront of software development. Since the beginning, we’ve believed open source is the best model for software development and we want to ensure it stays that way.

Today, being a software developer goes beyond open source—therefore we want to share how the evolution we are seeing in key technologies has a place alongside open source. Our focus this year will be on five substantial pillars that are driving the software development industry forward today:

• Open Source - All innovative and emerging open source projects are at the heart of software development and OSCON 2019
• Cloud-Native - While still not completely open source, this important pillar of software development allows for open source to thrive
• Data-Driven - Learn how to deal with massive amounts of data and how to use techniques to create fast, reactive, resilient applications
• AI-Enhanced - Machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are making significant changes to building the software of today
• Customer-Centered - Product management and design are essential to ensuring that coding and development are used to their fullest potential
