DevConf.US 2021

Open is most associated with software, not least because a well-established open source development model has helped make open source software not just a tool for user freedoms but a better way to develop software. But what of data, information more broadly, education, and hardware. What role has open to play in those domains? In this talk, Red Hat technology evangelist and author Gordon Haff will examine these other areas, highlight successes, and discuss some of the challenges. While the wins are perhaps more ambiguous than in the software space, there are clearly opportunities for more open developments moving forward.
