Invitation

All regular, associate and academic OSADL members are cordially invited to participate in the OSADL Networking Day 2023. The idea of the event is to offer the OSADL community an opportunity to share their experiences with regard to using and distributing Free and Open Source software (FOSS) in products. This is best done by offering a good mix of conference-style talks on current topics with sufficiently long breaks for networking. The latter can then be continued during a visit to a cultural or technical event and remains the goal when the participants thereafter meet for dinner. It is a special pleasure to host the OSADL Networking Day as an in-person event in Heidelberg again, and the OSADL Team looks forward to welcoming as many OSADL members as possible.

Conference part
The conference part will focus on "AI in industrial automation". It is, however, impossible to cover this topic exhaustively in all its facets in one day. Therefore, we have selected specific perspectives and use cases to illustrate, on the one hand, the challenges of dealing with AI in terms of social interaction and, on the other hand, the impact of AI on professional life. We are pleased and grateful that the experts we approached have accepted our invitation and will share their knowledge with us.

The conference language of the OSADL Networking Day is English. All presentation material will also be in English.

Evening event
Subsequent to the conference session, participants are cordially invited to attend a virtual "Journey through the Universe" in the Heidelberg House of Astronomy (Center for Astronomy Education and Outreach), and after being back from the interstellar voyage, a bus shuttle will take the participants "back to earth" and down to the old town of Heidelberg for dinner in a typical Heidelberg brewery restaurant.
