" summary

Company history and concrete examples dominate: started the same year as NodeConf, nearly bankrupt first event financed by a 50,000 euros personal loan, a demo smoke incident nearly trips sprinklers and no insurance. Technical outcomes include a drone hack day where JavaScript control spawns Skycatch from an attendee project. Claims: 150 people at NearForm with no VC, open source funding is broken, and enterprise participation via Inner Source Commons is proposed as a practical way to fund and contribute back.
