Q&A Session on Free Software

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, open source became prevalent in software development, at least for anything related to tooling or libraries. What does “open source” really mean? Is it different form “free software”? How does it work? How can I improve the tools I use on a daily basis? What does it means to be a maintainer? Why is no one contributing to my project? Will open source save the world?

These are examples of question you could ask Lunar during this DiverSE Coffee. They–and anyone in the room–will happily share their experience in participating to free/libre open source software projects.
