Another exciting edition of Berlin Buzzwords – the seventeenth, to be precise – is over and we had a great time. This year we brought together nearly 350 attendees on site and had about 70 watching the livestreams online.

After kicking off the event with the barcamp on a sunny Sunday afternoon, we hosted more than 60 talks and panel discussions presented by more than 80 speakers and panellists. The conference was opened on Monday morning with a keynote by Ruth Suehle who took us back through the history of Open Source and then looked to the future to share her perspective of what the next challenges in the world of OSS are and will be.

Re-live the event: Photos & Videos

Videos of our conference sessions are available on YouTube now and a first selection of photos by our photographer Jan Michalko are available on Flickr, with more being added soon. As always both our videos and photos are published under a Creative Commons licence (cc-by-sa 4.0) for you to use them.
