 Announcing OW2con'25 first keynote speakers and sponsors

We are thrilled to announce our first list of well-renowned international keynotes speakers and sponsors.

Reminder: The Call for Presentations is still open. This year we put the highlight on open source and responsible AI. Our aim is to lift the hood and look beyond the AI buzz: open source and commons, data, sovereignty, privacy, explainability, legal framework, technical stack, funding and economy, sustainability, research and education, interaction with people, impact on work and society, etc. How will open source contribute to this transformation?

Please submit your proposals, in the main theme or any other CFP topics, in English. Only 5 days left before the February 23 deadline, so please do not wait any longer to send your proposal!
