Presented by Stefen Fejes, UI Engineer at 30 Seconds
Wonder what's it's like to grow one of the fastest growing open source projects before graduating from high school? Since it's release, 30secondsofcode.org was nominated as the 6th fastest growing open source project by GitHub in 2018, gathered over 45,000 stars, made it to Hacktoberfest trending lists, and started series of education projects used by thousands of developers daily. Growing an organization of this size isn't easy, especially when a newbie is running it. Stefan will share some of his most inspiring and challenging moments of running the organization—and share tips for maintainers and teams starting their own open source projects.

Presented by Devon Zuegel, Product Manager of the Open Source Economy Team at GitHub
What can cities teach open source about governance, funding, and managing limited resources?
In this talk, we'll take a stroll through von Haussmann's Paris, the subways of NYC and Hong Kong, the streets of Singapore, and modern day San Francisco. We'll look at how the long history of the design, maintenance, economics, and politics of physical infrastructure can inform how we approach our digital infrastructure—and where we'll need to draw a new map for ourselves.

Presented by:
Stephen Magill, CEO at Muse Dev
Gene Kim, Author, Researcher & Founder at IT Revolution
In this session, you'll hear about the year-long collaboration between Gene Kim (researcher and co-author of “The Phoenix Project,” “DevOps Handbook,” “Accelerate”), Dr. Stephen Magill, (expert in software security and program analysis), and Sonatype (maintainers of the Maven Central Repository). They examined 10,000 open source Java components that were published to Maven Central and hosted on GitHub. They combined team and project performance metrics from GitHub, popularity data from Maven Central, and vulnerability and dependency data from Sonatype to examine what properties are shared by exemplary open source teams. They discuss these findings, including the differences we see between exemplary small teams and large teams, the fact that popularity does not predict security, and how remarkably difficult it is to keep dependencies patched while being “almost” up-to-date. They also highlight the organizational and technology practices they observe among exemplar open source teams, which release new versions 2x more frequently and remediate security vulnerabilities 3x more quickly, all while delivering a level of value that makes them standouts in terms of popularity and adoption.

Gina Assaf, Digital Design and Research Consultant for Social and Global Impact & Good
Mala Kumar, Program Manager, Open Source for Good at GitHub
John Jones, Vice President of Interactive Strategies at The Case Foundation
The open source ecosystem, which includes software products, data and methodologies, is a driving force behind many breakthrough achievements in digital technology within the private sector. However, for nonprofits, international aid organizations and others in the social sector, open source adoption remains weak despite its massive potential to improve how the industry functions. In this session you’ll hear about GitHub’s new Open Source for Good program, the specific challenges in OS adoption by social sector, examples of nonprofits that are successfully implementing large scale OS projects and how GitHub can better support OS adoption by the social sector in the future.

Ed Huang and Max Liu’s project Codis, a proxy-based high-performance Redis cluster solution, went viral in China five years ago. A year later, when they went to build TiDB and then TiKV, they used those learnings to their advantage—with the goal of building database solutions for and by developers all over the world. In this talk, Ed discusses the challenges they faced when building a global product, and their solutions, like using a bilingual content strategy and prioritizing global community governance and management.

Presented by Sara Cope, Engineer, and Courney Brousseau, Civic Digital Fellow, at Code.gov
At the end of the government shutdown, Sara found herself as the single developer responsible for more than 20 open source projects. To keep everything afloat, she needed help from the open source community. This talk will dive in to how to stay sane when you’re a solo team member, conducting usability research on your open source projects and crafting an intentional contributor experience to grow your community.
