From 22-24 October 2024, Mainz will become the epicentre of the open source world as the Open Community Experience (OCX) brings together developers, innovators, and tech leaders for a dynamic blend of sessions, expert insights, networking, and entertainment.
OCX will take place at Halle 45, a beautifully restored tram depot with a history dating back to 1904. Now a vibrant cultural hub, this iconic venue in Mainz offers the perfect setting for an event that bridges history with cutting-edge technology.
What’s on the Menu at OCX 2024?
OCX 2024 is set to satisfy the curiosity and passion of anyone involved in open source software. While continuing EclipseCon’s legacy of focusing on developer tools and IDEs, this year’s conference is expanding its scope with two exciting new events:
- Open Community for Java (OCJ): Dive into the full spectrum of Java's capabilities, including Jakarta EE, Adoptium, MicroProfile and other open source technologies.
- Open Community for Automotive (OCA): Explore the future of automotive software, with sessions dedicated to the integration and innovation of open source in the automotive industry.
A Glimpse into OCX's Main Tracks:
- Managing Open Source Projects: If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to manage an open source project, Marc Philipp has the answers. He’ll share the recipe for success, guiding you through the trials and triumphs of running an open source initiative.
- Cybersecurity for All: Think cybersecurity is a game for only the big players? Think again. Philippe Ombredanne and Mikaël Barbero are ready to show you how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can harness free and open source tools to stay compliant with CRA regulations.
- AI-Assisted Coding with GitHub Copilot and Spring: Learn how GitHub Copilot, combined with Spring, is revolutionising AI-assisted coding with Martin Lippert (Broadcom), and Jinbo Wang (Microsoft). Spoiler: this session will include a lot of live demos and show how things work under the hood.
