Location: Ballroom Foyer, Level 1

Open source runs the world, but who runs open source? Open source maintainers are behind the software we use everyday, but they don’t always have the community or support they need. That’s why we’re celebrating open source maintainers during the month of May. As a thank you for the great work you’re doing for the open source community, please enjoy some appetizers and have a drink on us. Bring your friends, connect with peers, and chat with GitHub on how we can best support the community.

Pre-registraiton is required. Register for the Maintainer Month Happy Hour here.

Wednesday, May 10

Location: Stanley Park Pavilion | 610 Pipeline Road | Vancouver, BC, V6G 1Z4

Speakers and media are invited to gather for drinks, hors d’oeuvres and networking at the Partner Reception located at the beautiful Stanley Park Pavilion. This heritage venue has been the hub of social gatherings and events for over 100 years. From its modest beginning as a concession stand in 1911 (making it the oldest building still standing in the park), the Pavilion was transformed into a charming facility that even hosted Queen Elizabeth II during her 1959 visit to Vancouver. We hope you can join us for a true Vancouver experience.
