Staying Open Source - September FV Drupal 2026

​This month John Locke from Freelock, LLC is joining us to kick off a conversation about the importance of businesses and organizations owning their critical systems. As he wrote in June, Against Inevitability, not doing so risks major disruptions.

​John (Freelock) has been active in the Drupal community for over 18 years and other open-source software projects.

​Given the amount of change and uncertainty many businesses and organizations are facing, this is an important topic and we are looking forward to some great conversation.
