With open source bringing a new dimension to the technology world, it is now counted as a must-have skill.

It is said, “Empowerment of individuals is a key part of what makes open source work since, in the end, innovations tend to come from small groups, not from large, structured efforts.”

To empower individuals through open source, we are organizing Open Source Software Days Conference(OSS Days) on 30th and 31st October.

Why Open-Source? 🤔

From the latest Linux Foundation’s 2020 Open Source Jobs Report:

  1. Qualified open source talent is still in short supply: 93% of hiring managers report difficulty finding sufficient talent with open source skills, up from 87% two years ago.
  2. DevOps’ rise: DevOps pros have risen to the most sought after job role, with 65% of companies looking to hire more DevOps talent, up from 59% in 2018.
  3. Cloud technology is hot: In terms of knowledge domains, hiring managers report knowledge of open cloud technologies has the most significant impact, with 70% being more likely to hire a pro with these skills, up from 66% in 2018.

OSS Days is an excellent opportunity for you to learn and upskill on DevOps, Cloud, and more. It is a two day (30 & 31 October 2020), virtual, free, developer-focussed, community-driven conference, meant for professionals & open source enthusiasts.

What To Expect From OSS Days? 🤔

  1. Level 300 to 400 talks focussed on the theme “Cloud & Open Source Technologies”.
  2. Hands-on workshops on Kubernetes 101 and CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Kubernetes.
  3. Specially curated learning materials.
  4. Azure Dev Challenge that can win you exclusive blockchain-based Azure badges.
  5. Daily challenges and fun quiz throughout the event, that can bag you cash prizes. 💸
