I really wish Open Sauce made more effort to showcase Open Source solutions as the name clearly implies. So many things presented are proprietary, which makes them useless for significant community improvement and collaboration.

Those pushing corpotech in an event meant to have a community vibe feels gross.

Granted MakerFaire is the same these days.

Are there any actual events showcasing exclusively open tech in the US?

yeah, that’s not really what it’s about
