The EU Open Source Policy Summit 2023, organized by OpenForum Europe, aims to explore Europe's opportunities when leveraging open-source innovation and collaboration models at scale. Taking place before FOSDEM, it brings together global technology and policy leaders to discuss how collaboration and competition are being rethought as we achieve Europe’s digital policy goals using open source as a strategic tool.
Our Engagement Lead Emmy Tsang is invited to participate in a panel discussion at the Summit titled "What's on the agenda for OSS (open-source software) funders?".
