Why we created the #05F5? Here's why: Proud to see the open source community come together.

Live from the 05F5! Day 1 features a warm welcome from Emily Omier and Remy Bertot. We've enjoyed insightful talks from open source founders like Michael Widenius (MariaDB), Amandine Le Pape (Element), Pierre Burgy (Strapi) and many more. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures from the event! 📸

Open source founders often struggle to build a community for themselves. That's why Remy Bertot from passbolt and Emily Omier announced the #05F5. Check out their recent piece in the New Stack to find out why they think this summit is essential. And if you can't make it this year, sign up for the newsletter and stay in the loop for the 2025 edition.

Open Source Founders Need Community

If you agree that leaders of open source businesses need to work together, share their experiences and support each other, you should join us at the inaugural Open Source Founders Summit.

The New Stack

It's easy to find people talking about the advantages of running an open source business: Yes community! You'll have magic 🏒growth. But is it possible that it's not all paradise?

Geoff Olliff, COO of Portainer, is going to lead a workshop on the hard truths about running an open source business. If you'd like a chance to see what others struggle with and how they overcome those struggles you should join us.
Join us for #05F5 on May 27-28th in Paris. Check out other talks https://05f5.com/

Getting the most out of events

Getting the most out of events as an open source software company

We sometimes talk about 'moving up' from small deals to large deals, but what if you start out by targeting large organizations?

At Open Source Founders Summit Paul-Henri Pillet, CEO and co-founder at Gatling, is going to be leading a workshop about how to effectively target large organizations — including from day 1.

If you're a leader at an open source company and would like to be a part of that conversation, you should get your invite here: http://05f5.com/request-invite
