Event summary:

Open source software (OSS) has had a profound impact on the industry, revolutionizing the way software is developed, distributed,
and used. OSS is software that is made available to anyone for free to use, modify, and redistribute. One of the biggest impacts of OSS
has been the democratization of software development. In the past, software development was largely limited to large companies with
the resources to invest in proprietary software development tools and platforms. OSS has made it possible for anyone with a computer
and an internet connection to develop software. This has led to a more diverse and innovative software development community.
OSS developers are often motivated by a passion for creating high-quality software and solving real-world problems. They are also
able to collaborate and share ideas more easily than developers of proprietary software.
