Upstream is June 7: Hear from maintainers of log4j and other top projects

Upstream is one week away! Join us on June 7, and follow the trails blazed by open source maintainers of projects like log4j, Mongoose, urllib3, CherryPy—or walk the route of those using their creations at huge organizations like Fannie Mae, Amazon, Cisco, and more. RSVP now.

There's no other event quite like it—fully virtual, free, and multi-perspective, the goal of Upstream is to hear from everyone in open source—including maintainers and users alike.

Let's take a look at one hour-long block on the agenda. You can choose any of these paths:

1: Join us for the state of the open source maintainer panel featuring Jason Coombs of Setuptools and Cherrypy, Gary Gregory of the Apache Software Foundation, and Ceki Gülcü, creator of log4j version 1. Ever wondered what it was like to be on the maintenance team for a wildly popular project like log4j during one of the most notorious zero-day vulnerability fire drills? Here's your chance.

2: Tidelift co-founder Luis Villa sits down with Ben Adida, executive director of VotingWorks, to hear about the only open-source voting system used in United States elections.

3: Matthew Yonkovit of Scarf will share his tips, tricks, and best practices for open source adoption.

Throughout the day, we will hear directly from both the maintainers behind open source and the users who depend on their work. We expect some fascinating discussions, and can't wait to hang out with you for the day day.

BONUS: If you register and attend the event, we'll send you a free t-shirt and you'll be entered to win a $100 gift card. (Only those in the U.S. are eligible for the free shirt, sadly.)
