Dear Pytosi,

We are organizing our first panel discussion ever! We would like to invite you to join us on OPEN SOURCE PANEL DISCUSSION, which will be held on Tuesday, 5th of March, at 6pm in Belgrade Startit Center.

PANELISTS: Marko Kažić: Founder of Zamphyr, Matija Čupić: Software Engineer at Gitlab, Srđan Panić: creator of Collections-C, Jona Azizaj: Open source enthusiast, FLOSS Advocate.

MODERATOR: Aleksandar Manja, founder and president of Level Up Serbia, and Marketing And Business Development Coordinator at Byte Kinematics.

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Open source is becoming more and more popular, but is also arouses a lot of questions - what exactly open source is, do the companies understand the value of developing or using open source software, what license to use for your open source project and if you can make profit from open source software etc. In the light of that, we are going to talk about pros and cons of open source projects and try to increase the awareness about the open source.

After the discussion, Vladimir Trkulja, Co-founder of SEE ICT & Venture Fellow at UNICEF, will give a short presentation about UNICEF
Innovation Fund, which is investing in open-source startups.

*The event will be held in English.
