Keynote: From DaVinci to The Avengers
summary
Open source is now mainstream after 25 years — Android outsells laptops and projects move from solo geniuses to coordinated teams; the claim is that collaboration scales better than lone brilliance, but those geniuses must be integrated to avoid loss of expertise. Companies must contribute as peers, not build closed stacks that cause fragmentation; simply publishing code fails unless paired with sustained, inclusive communities. SUSE follows an open-source-first policy and emphasizes avoiding vendor lock‑in while measuring projects by community health and longevity.
