Women in Open Source
2nd Network Meetup
Connecting the Open Source community and exploring the intersection of Open Source and Artificial Intelligence
Following the inspiring kickoff of the Women in Open Source Network, the FZI Research Center for Information Technology invites you to the second network meetup on November 12, 2026, at the FZI House of Living Labs in Karlsruhe.
The meetup is dedicated to strengthening connections, sharing experiences, and discussing current developments in the Open Source community. A particular focus will be placed on the growing intersection of Open Source and Artificial Intelligence.
The program will open with keynote contributions by Open Source experts. Participants can also look forward to interactive, hands-on workshops, an exclusive guided tour of the FZI House of Living Labs, and various opportunities to exchange ideas and connect with other women from the Open Source community.
Whether you are an experienced Open Source contributor, work with Open Source in your organization, or are simply interested in exchanging ideas with like-minded women, you are warmly invited to join us.
