Linux Application Summit 2023 - A view from the sidelines...

Thu, 25 May 2023 20:04:39 +0000

Let’s start from the beginning - what Is Linux Application Summit? Like the name suggests, it’s a conference, or rather a meet-up of a variety of Linux software groups, teams and individual creators. Most important of all, it’s a joint effort by two large projects - KDE and GNOME. It represents a truth, not many Linux blogs and media properly represent - that we are part of a large family that shares values, customs and love. A lot of people seem to assume, that there is this great rivalry and fragmentation in the Linux community. That for one to prevail, the others must fall into oblivion. That there can only be one packaging format, one distro to rule them all. Linux App Summit is the proof that our differences are not our weakness, but actually our strength. Events such as this, where people from Canonical, Red Hat and various other projects and communities meet, eat, drink and bond together show that the open source world is a gorgeous tapestry, rather than a vicious battlefield. If you haven’t been able to join us in person, let me at least show you a glimpse of what I’ve seen and experienced in one of my favorite cities in the Central Europe, the city of Brno in Czech Republic.
