The highly influential annual open-source event, the 7th China Open Source Conference (COSCon’22), will be held online (Metaverse + traditional online live channels) & offline (10+ offline sub-venues) simultaneously from October 29 to 30. This year, our theme is: Open the World!

We prefer Open over Close

We prefer Connection over Broken

We prefer Public Good over Bad News

We hope to contribute to improving the world with open-source technology, open-source methods, and open-source power.

Due to the pandemic, we will continue with the 2021 1+N model, which means one main online sharing venue plus N local offline sub-venues in various cities.

The online conference will feature 1 main forum and 16 sub-forums, covering areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, open-source education, open-source culture, open-source governance, open-source hardware, open-source operating systems, women’s forum, open-source public welfare, open-source business, web application development, and lightning talks. Offline sub-venues will be spread across 12 cities including Chengdu, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing, where lecturers and special guests from different cities will gather.

Five Highlights of the Conference

China’s first Metaverse open-source conference, immersive and engaging

The Metaverse, which has been booming for a year, still holds great development potential this year. Whether it’s virtual space online meetings for remote work during the pandemic, the open-world game market under the open-source trend, or the “industrial Metaverse” in the era of digital humans and Web3.0, what exactly is the Metaverse? Come explore the Metaverse venue at COSCon’22!
As China’s first Metaverse open-source conference, COSCon’22 will not only be broadcasted through partner communities and media but also move the entire venue to the Metaverse venue supported by NetEase Yaotai. Participants can freely set their conference avatars, roam through various venues like in a 3D game, chat with other participants online, exchange business cards, and even open their cameras for real-time communication within the venue…

Gathering of experts, international forefront VS local exploration

At the main forum of COSCon’22 China Open Source Conference, we have invited Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, Executive Director of LF AI & Data Foundation, Junping Du, Chairman of the LF AI & Data Foundation Board and Chairman of the TOC of the Open Atom Open Source Foundation, Jiang Ning, Director of the Apache Software Foundation, Keith Chen, Strategic Director of the Linux Foundation Asia-Pacific, Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub, and Daoyuan Ren, General Manager of VMware China R&D Center, to bring you cutting-edge open-source insights.
