Steve Francia, PRODUCT LEAD, GOOGLE

Wednesday, April 11 at 9 a.m.

I’ve had quite an exciting career leading some of the largest open source projects in history including MongoDB, Go, Docker, and Hugo. Throughout it all I’ve observed, admired and learned from the Drupal project. In this keynote, I’ll talk about the role Drupal has played in my career; I’ll share my thoughts on open source patterns within Drupal; lastly, I’ll share my insights from other open source projects.
