¿Qué es OpenSouthCode?
OpenSouthCode es un evento no comercial organizado por voluntarios para la comunidad cuyo objetivo es promover el uso generalizado del Software Libre y de código/hardware abierto contribuyendo a su difusión, compartir experiencias y conocimientos, que tiene lugar en la ciudad de Málaga (España). Está entre los eventos de software más relevantes de Europa según Irontec y es cita obligada anual para el movimiento Open Source en el sur de Europa. La idea de OpenSouthCode se basa en Fosdem, una conferencia que lleva realizándose en Bruselas desde el 2000 con gran éxito internacional.
La organización se compone de personas que trabajan desde Málaga en diferentes empresas internacionales como Todocolección, Github (Microsoft), Google (Virus Total), Hispasec, Accenture Spain, Veturis Travel o Datadog, y que aportan su tiempo y dedicación voluntaria a difundir el software/hardware y cultura libre.
OpenSouthCode sigue el Código de Conducta Berlín (https://berlincodeofconduct.org/es/).
