Open Source Hub - Your Developer Community Needs More Than a Hackathon

Video

What keeps developers building after a hackathon? Mario Behling shares how FOSSASIA helped over 100,000 young people enter open source and built projects across 200+ repositories. Discover how a small team combines developer networks, automation, and human mentorship to sustain participation, and how AI changes the challenge of recognizing meaningful contributions.

But open source is more than code. It takes people who build, maintain, and support projects over time. **Visit the Open Source Hub at Devcon 8** to meet open source contributors, connect with project maintainers, and explore opportunities in decentralized learning and mentorship.
