What is the Open Source CMS conference?
It is what has been mentioned as the missing gathering place for the open source CMS community - an international conference with confirmed participants from Europe and North America.
A friendly mix of digital leaders from notable open source CMS projects, agencies, even a few industry analysts who get together to learn, network and talk about what really matters when it comes to creating better open source CMS projects right now and for the foreseeable future.
