Why attend OSSNA?

Open Source Summit North America (OSSNA) is the confluence of multiple conventions from previous years: LinuxCon, ContainerCon, CloudOpen, and the Open Community Conference that takes place in Los Angeles, California. Find out more about this event at: Open Source Summit North America

What is the focus of the event?

Our primary focus of the event is to demonstrate the various desktops, spins, and choices available with Fedora and showcase new features of Fedora 26.

How does our attendance at this event build users of or contributors to the Fedora platform overall

Since this convention is a draw for container, cloud, and general Linux and Open Source audience, this diverse crowd is an ideal environment to reach out to potential contributor and users.

People will be enthusiastic to learn about the latest applications and features of Fedora 26.

How does our attendance at this event build users of or contributors to specific Fedora solutions — and why are those particular solutions strategically important

We take detailed notes on feedback provided by attendees and provide a summarized roll-up of strength and challenges relating to Fedora software. Doing so results in beneficial updates for this distribution.
