An active community is a key to the success of open source software. And to actively maintain coordination between the community, its corresponding members need to sit together and discuss their various developments. Thus, the open source community often conducts events all around the world.

Instead of giving an overview of all the global gatherings, we are here featuring the top six open source events that take place in India. These are the events where you can catch not just software developers but also meet with many open source enablers and put your doubts to rest.

Open Source India

Open Source India is Asia’s leading open source event and perhaps the oldest one in this list. Started as Linux Asia in 2004, the convention is aimed to bring together the open source industry and the community. It is conducted in Bengaluru — the Silicon Valley of India — and is backed by our parent company EFY Group.

The 14th edition of Open Source India will be hosted on October 13-14 this year. It will feature some of the world’s renowned software developers, IT managers and CXOs who all are favouring the adoption of open source. Alongside multiple tech talks, several workshops will also be held at the event.

OpenStack India is aimed to bring various developers, consumers and administrators under one roof. It is also a perfect place if you want to get started with an OpenStack deployment for your next project.
