Attending the @linuxfoundation Open Source Summit North America 2026 reinforced an important lesson:
People are ready to learn more about blockchain.
Across conversations with developers, maintainers, and open-source leaders, we found genuine curiosity about how blockchain can help address challenges around trust, coordination, reputation, incentives, and collaboration at scale.
What stood out was not skepticism, but thoughtful questions and a willingness to explore new approaches when connected to real-world problems.
The opportunity is significant. There is a large audience eager to understand what this technology makes possible. The key is continuing to engage, listen, and build bridges between communities.
@andamio_teams is proud to be part of that effort. Thanks to @IntersectMBO and the @Cardano_CF for supporting Cardano’s presence at this event, a truly leading-edge environment for innovation. Special thanks to @Tmacqt87 for his outstanding leadership in driving this trailblazing initiative forward and positioning Cardano in spaces where real-world collaboration and adoption are shaped.
@gimbalabs was proud to be represented at @linuxfoundation Open Source Summit North America by our Lead Educator and Facilitator Harsha Gullapalli @HarshaGulla, sharing perspectives from years of building technical education and developer onboarding pathways within the Cardano ecosystem.
The event created space for meaningful conversations with developers and open-source leaders from around the world, opening the door to new ideas, collaborations, and opportunities to connect broader open-source communities with the work happening across Cardano.
We're grateful to be part of a global conversation about how we make contribution, learning, and participation more accessible to everyone.
A special thank you to @IntersectMBO and the @Cardano_CF for supporting this initiative and helping create opportunities for the Cardano ecosystem to engage with the broader developer community. And congratulations to @Tmacqt87 for leading the way and move this initiative forward.
Hello DReps and Cardano Community,
The OSC has worked tirelessly over the weekend and today to present responses to feedback for our 'Paid Open Source Model - Continue' 2026+ Treasury Proposal. We invite additional feedback and remain ready for discussion.
Check out the Proposal and Comments: https://t.co/D4ib3vpeKR
Meet with us on Friday in the @coc_space!
DReps have asked, the OSC delivers. A Draft version of Milestones that would apply to 'Paid Open Source Model - Continued' have been added to the OSC GitBook page.
https://t.co/3mKBCCTD78
We encourage DRep and Community review of the proposed Milestones. As they are still in draft, they are subject to change based on actionable feedback and continued program delivery with Treasury funding awarded in 2025.
Confirmed! The Open Source Committee will join @coc_space this Friday June 5th, at 2pm UTC. Please bring your questions and feedback. Be sure to keep an eye on our posts throughout the week as we update our resources and respond to Hydra/Ekklesia Commentary.

In the event that you are using AI to review proposals, Feel free to point your AI to review this resource.
Clarification: The Open Source Committee recognizes that even this resource may not be fully up to date. If you choose to adjust your rationale to address any 'missing' reporting, this will help us to expedite publication of new and relevant details. You can also check Meeting Minutes for updates that may not yet be present under each specific program. Thank you all for your service.
Not a DRep? Share this post, make sure your DRep sees it. Additionally, we welcome feedback from everyone, feel free to thread this post with action items for OSC!
@yutazzz Thanks for sharing the additional detail. We have found quite a few discrepancies and solid feedback within your rationale. We are hopeful to provide a response prior to your 6/2 consolidation.
Hi @yutazzz As the OSC continues to compile responses, I am happy and confident to share that delivery against POSM programs can be found within the specific section of the OSC GitBook Page.

As of Today, 6 programs have been started, Maintainer Retainer and Tooling have still minimal info at this time due to extended internal processes for proof of concept (verifiable delivery), updates are coming soon. Developer Advocate and Travel programs should reflect consistent updates. Security/Incident Management and Bug Bounty are moving along as expected. Per agreed milestones with Intersect as administrator, Mid-term reports for both programs are coming due now and both reports are in draft.
In summary, the feedback about the successes not being included in our proposal is very helpful, we are in a position where Delivery on current programs is still in progress, and it seemed to make sense that we should be requesting additional funding now, ONLY to be accessed after current program terms complete and excess funds are returned to the Treasury.
We just wrapped up Day 3 of the Open Source Summit here in Minneapolis, came back to the hotel to get packed and take a rest and get ready to fly home in the morning but couldn't help myself, an issue was identified where @lace_io wallets couldn't connect to https://t.co/tW3oKqI6ke... so, went ahead and fixed it and released v0.0.7-beta, now with full Lace support! Happy wallets make happy degens!
The @Cardano ecosystem is here sponsoring the legendary @linuxfoundation Open Source Summit 2026 in Minneapolis, MN.
Cardano is the only blockchain at this Summit. That's not a coincidence. Open source is how the ecosystem was built 🏗️
If you're attending, go say hello 👋
