Session Description
A great open-source community isn’t just about code—it’s about people. For us – Weaviators – we believe a strong company culture of kindness and collaboration is essential for building an inclusive and engaged open-source ecosystem.
Join us to learn what you can do to ensure your culture extends beyond your organization and how your values translate into external impact.
Based on real-life examples and tactics,, we will explore:
– The connection between company culture and open-source communities.
– How we foster an internal culture that supports (developer) engagement, and what you could copy from us.
– Practical steps for creating a welcoming, inclusive, and sustainable community.
– The role of developer experience (DX) in driving long-term participation.
This session is for you—whether you’re an open-source community builder, a company leader, or someone eager to learn how to create a company culture that strengthens both your organization and your community. You’ll walk away with actionable insights to help you cultivate a culture that fuels open-source success.
