OpenTo Society
A grassroots community for engineers, researchers, founders, and investors who believe computing should be open, private, and community-owned. We're just getting started — meetups, hackathons, and fireside chats are on the way.
The Society is in its earliest days. We're shaping the first chapters, formats, and gatherings together with the people who show up first.
What We Do
Where the community comes alive
Meetups
Local gatherings to demo projects, meet collaborators, and talk open-source AI infrastructure.
Hackathons
Build sprints focused on real problems in open computing — runtimes, manifests, capability brokers.
Speaker Series
Talks from kernel engineers, ML researchers, and OS architects working on the next layer of computing.
Fireside Chats
Small-group conversations with founders, maintainers, and investors shaping open infrastructure.
Founder & Investor Dinners
Curated dinners at the intersection of AI, open source, and the next generation of operating systems.
Global Summit
An eventual flagship gathering for the entire OpenTo community — once the chapters are in place.
