Open source Tech day.

"Free" as in Speech, Not Beer: Clarifying the core philosophy of Open Source—it’s not just about software being free of cost, but about the freedom to study, modify, and distribute it without vendor lock-in.

Community > Code: highlighting that the true strength of open source projects (like Linux or Drupal) lies not just in the codebase, but in the vibrant, global community that supports, documents, and evolves it faster than any single corporation could.

The Contribution Ladder: Encouraging attendees to move from passive consumers to active contributors, starting with simple non-code contributions like documentation, translation, and bug reporting before diving into patches.

Transparency Equals Trust: How open development models lead to more secure and robust software, as "many eyes" on the code allow for faster identification and patching of vulnerabilities compared to proprietary black boxes.
