About
A moonshot Marshot open source conference
Open Camps is a mission-driven collection of open source technology conferences & events.
Open Camps will be one of the largest open source conferences in the world, as we host 6,000+ developers at 25+ conferences & events, featuring hundreds of sessions on dozens of technologies.
We've been able to bring Open Camps together as a result of a broad & bold collaboration between the United Nations Open Source Innovation Initiative (Unite Open Source) and multiple open source communities. We're grateful for the the support of the United Nations, the generosity of our partners, and the volunteer teams that make Open Camps possible.
