SUMMARY:Devopsdays London
DESCRIPTION:The first DevOpsDays was held in Ghent\, Belgium in 2009. Since then\, DevOpsDays events have multiplied and expanded globally with over 50 events in 2022. \nDevOpsDays is a worldwide series of community run technical conferences covering topics of software development\, IT infrastructure operations\, and the intersection between them. It is run by volunteers from community\, for the benefit of the community. We are not a commercial conference and we believe that our focus on serving the community creates a truly unique experience for both delegates and sponsors. \nThe format of DevOpsDays London includes a single track of 30 minute talks in the morning of each event\, followed by Ignite talks (5 minute\, auto forwarding). We spend the rest of the afternoon in Open Spaces\, which are considered a key portion of the event.

SUMMARY:OSPOs for Good 2024
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium is set to be a multi-day conference held on 9th and 10th July 2024\, with a richer global presence of diverse open source thinkers\, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good. \nBy building on the success of last year’s event\, the goal of the 2024 conference is to be ‘bigger and better’ in every way. This action symposium aims to serve as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system\, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy\, as well as highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It will prominently highlight the theme of ‘open source networks as enablers of global cooperation’. \nWhile the 2024 conference will of course focus on the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) like last year’s event\, this conference will expand the scope to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs are enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries.
