Philadelphia: Free & Open Source (FOSS) LegalTech

Description

ILTA, in partnership with the Philadelphia chapter of Legal Hackers is gathering to discuss how to create a thriving community of free and open source legal technology developers and users in our local communities. In this forum, we will:

• Introduce the concept of free and open source software (FOSS).
• Hear from a founder of one of the projects bringing open-source software development principles to the legal-tech space.
• Break out into groups to learn how to use Community.Lawyer's web-based, no-code tool for building legal apps.
• We will reconvene to discuss how we can foster and sustain open-source development work in our communities.

Please bring your own lunch; beverages will be provided.
