2024
In 2024 we organized Bergen Open Source for the second year in a row, and the conference was a huge success! Many thanks to everyone who participated. A lot of exciting knowledge was shared, and we hope it cultivated interest and motivation to dive further into the world of open source 🔍
There was a great atmosphere throughout the event, and we are proud to be part of such a committed, active and inclusive environment as open source is.
We would also like to thank the speakers who took the time to share their knowledge and experiences, and our dedicated friByte members for their efforts. This conference would not have been possible without you 🙌

Modern open source modules are often packaged in Docker containers, NPM, Maven, or NuGet packages. This makes life significantly easier for both software and platform developers. However, these packages come with a certain amount of overhead. In this presentation, we will examine the implications for the sustainability of our software and what we might be able to do about it.
Distributing software on Linux can be complex. Unlike other OSes, third-party apps aren't easily compatible across distributions due to dependencies. We'll explore common Linux APIs, shared libraries, and tools like Snap, Flatpak, and more, to understand how to distribute apps safely across distros.
OpenAI keeps ChatGPT closed to protect its business, while Meta open-sourced LLaMa to challenge competitors. Google balances openness with commercial interests. This talk explores the strategic reasons behind these decisions and their impact on the future of AI development.
