# ​What is the talk abstract?
​Open source is everywhere, powering the tools we use, the platforms we build on, and the innovations shaping our digital future. Yet despite its accessibility, much of open source remains unopened to many. This talk explores the hidden layers of open source, the overlooked projects, the challenges that discourage new contributors, and the immense potential waiting to be unlocked. Through engaging stories and real-world insights, we’ll discover how to participate more deeply, contribute meaningfully, and foster inclusive, thriving communities. Whether you're just getting started or looking to make a bigger impact, this is your invitation to open what’s still unopened.
