Brian Douglas
“Finding Success in Open Source”

Finding success in open source can be challenging because success is not defined well.

Having a clear understanding of the key metrics to measure and optimize is essential for project success, but it’s not always obvious what to track. This talk will explore the lesser-discussed metrics that all open-source projects should be tracking how often contributors return and even the ratio employee to community contributions in the most popular projects on GitHub. We'll also delve into contributor metrics such as spam rates, pull request velocity and SLAs.

With this tour into insights into the less obvious metrics that matter, open-source project maintainers will be better equipped to work smarter toward success (whatever that means to them) and make data-informed decisions about the future of their projects.

Justin Fagnani
"Build Components for All Frameworks with Lit"

Web components make it possible to build UI components that work in any framework. Justin will give a lightning overview of how to use Lit, a lightweight web components library, to make components that work in React, Angular, Vue, and more. We’ll look at native web component support in frameworks and Lit’s framework wrappers that turn native interop up a notch or two.
