KC OSS Happy Hour

We’re gathering for a night of Open Source camaraderie around KCDC. Join us for talks about working with OSS software. If you use open source, work on an OSS project, or want to be part of an OSS community, this event is for you.

We will have short talks from leaders in open source and plenty of time for snacks, drinks, and networking.
