Community Over Code may be a blog here by Shane – but it’s also the new branding for the ASF’s own conference series! Formerly known as ApacheCon, Community Over Code events are still held every year around the world, and gather community members from across ASF projects to share their stories about communities, technology, and more.
Community Over Code EU was most recently in Bratislava, Slovakia, a truly beautiful city. I was very happy to attend after a few years of not traveling to get back in touch with all my European ASF friends. The weather was beautiful, we held one of our sessions in a grand hotel ballroom suitable for signing international treaties, and to food was wonderful for the whole week we were there. Plus, we drew in a number of other FOSS luminaries for some excellent sessions on the CRA, PLD, and other legislation – truly eye opening.
Community Over Code Asia is coming up right now in July, in Hangzhou, China. This is always a great event, truly groundbreaking in supporting local open source communities and making global connections between many ASF projects and contributors.
And of course Community Over Code NA will be back this October, coming again to Denver. I’m really looking forward to our biggest gathering of ASF people every year, and am happy to be speaking on community and sustainability topics.
