Session 1: Why Gaming Should Care About Open Source
In the wider technical community - open source has won.
Despite game development’s culture of sharing, open source isn’t nearly as prevalent.
In this talk, we’ll look at motivations for open source, as well as the costs - and hopefully together change the culture of open source in game development!

Session 2: An Open Source Matchmaking Framework
Developing a multiplayer game but building out your matchmaking service taking too long?
