OSW

OSW, an acronym for Open Source Week, is an annual global celebration of open-source software and communities. Initiated by the Linux Foundation in 2019, OSW aims to raise awareness about the importance of open-source technologies and their impact on various industries. The event typically spans a week in October and includes a wide range of activities such as webinars, workshops, hackathons, and community meetups. These activities are designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and learning among developers, organizations, and enthusiasts worldwide. OSW highlights the collaborative nature of open-source projects, showcasing how contributions from individuals and organizations lead to the development of robust, secure, and scalable software solutions. The event also emphasizes the economic and social benefits of open-source, including cost savings, flexibility, and the ability to customize software to meet specific needs. By participating in OSW, individuals and organizations can gain insights into the latest trends and best practices in open-source development, network with like-minded professionals, and contribute to the growth and success of the open-source ecosystem.
