By now we’re sure you’ve seen the schedule for the Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference North America 2020 Virtual Experience – and if not, take some time to explore it here! This year’s schedule is jam-packed with 230+ keynotes, conference sessions, tutorials, and BoFs across 14 different topic tracks.
Putting together a schedule of this size takes a great deal of time, careful review, and thoughtful analysis and would not be possible without the dedication of our Program Committee Members.
A few fun facts:
- This year’s OSS + ELC North America Program Committee includes a whopping 59 members – and is 38% women! WOW, one of our largest groups to-date.
- Together, they reviewed 816 total submissions from our Call for Presentations. This is a 31% increase in submissions from 2019 – incredible!
- Each Program Committee Member received a Digital Badge via Acclaim, to honor their work and commitment to the OSS + ELC North America 2020 schedule and event.
We’d like to thank each and every one of our Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference North America 2020 Program Committee Members. Your hard work, expertise, and energy are the actual building blocks for OSS + ELC North America 2020. This event would not be possible without you!
