GitLab Commit Virtual 2021 has ended
Sessions will be available during their listed time, and then on demand on the platform after the event closes.

The Sched app allows you to build your schedule but is not a substitute for your event registration. You must be registered for GitLab Commit: Virtual 2021 to participate in the sessions. If you have not registered but would like to join us, please register and attend here.  Space in sessions is unlimited so advance sign-up is not necessary, it is just a convenience offered to guests.

To save a schedule you need to be logged in Sched, but this is not tied to your event registration. You do not need to be logged in to view the schedule.

Reminder: Sched is not the event platform, it is the schedule

Please note: This schedule is automatically displayed in Pacific Time (PT). To see the schedule in your preferred timezone, please select from the drop-down menu to the right, above “Filter by Date.”

Sustaining open-source projects is the decade's challenge. Understanding how contributions are made—by volunteers, sponsored by an organization, or both—can create incentives for ongoing support.

The Drupal project has measured contributions in Drupal.org issues since 2015 using a credit system that captures contributions—including code, documentation, speaking at events, security review, etc.—from both individuals and organizations. This insight is used to shape incentives in the Drupal ecosystem.

Attendees will learn how Drupal’s contribution credit system works and why we would like to bring it to GitLab. We hope that other open-source projects and orgs who want to understand their return on investment in open source can model their approach on this credit system and benefit from the insights we’ll be sharing during this presentation.
