It’s well established that leading companies are using open source strategically to power their business. Smart companies realize that to gain a competitive advantage they must influence and learn directly from the open source maintainers, developers and IT managers who are steering the projects being used to create today’s most innovative commercial products and services.

Linux Foundation events are the only place where the world’s leading maintainers, developers and practitioners across all of the most important open source software projects meet. From the enterprise to networking, embedded, IoT and cloud infrastructure, among others, Linux Foundation events are the best place to identify software trends early and inform future technology investments. They’re also the ripest recruiting grounds in today’s technology landscape.

Visibility within the open source community is one of the best ways to advance your open source development work through connection with sophisticated users who are evaluating and buying the next generation of infrastructure, big data or cloud technology.

If you want to influence, learn from or recruit these maintainers and developers, or reach the IT managers, cloud architects, network architects, infrastructure managers or administrators, Linux Foundation events are a must-attend and must sponsor.
