The talks start the conversation. What happens when you compare notes with the person next to you?

Some of our community members will be at IndiaFOSS this weekend!
Huge thanks to @fossunited for supporting the Rust India Conf diversity grants in April, and to Shivani for helping drive this initiative.
Looking forward to meeting FOSS contributors and maintainers in Bengaluru!

We brainrot at @IndiaFOSS 2026 booth before GTA VI
Check out Diagram Chasing's booth, they're superb at designing data stories 📈

A grant can get someone into the room. What helps them stay involved?
At @IndiaFOSS this weekend, Rootconf community members @Varunihk and Suchitra Shankar are hosting “Going beyond grants”, a BOF on participation and sponsorship for women and LGBTQIA+ people in FOSS.

Thank you to @FOSSUnited and @hackerrank for supporting the programme in June.
That experience is informing the next conversation. We welcome conversations with organisations interested in supporting this work across the year.
4/4
Whose work can you put forward? Who can you introduce? What opportunity can you help create?
Join “Going beyond grants” at @IndiaFOSS 26–27 September. Maintainers, organizers, employers, funders and allies: bring your experiences and leave with one next step.

At the workshops at @IndiaFOSS 2026 today
Attending the Qt workshop right now and later helping in the OCaml workshop
If anyone in my TL's attending, let's catch up!
A ClickHouse proposal for Rootconf 2026 asks why the schema that read 168× more rows won.
Have results that challenged your assumptions? Tell us what you tested, what surprised you and what changed.

A few moments from yesterday's workshop on platform engineering for production agents.
@_dforce took participants from agent concepts to hands-on work with observability, cost, security and evals.
Thanks to Giri, @aerospikedb @sidntrivedi and everyone who joined!
Rootconf 2026 submissions so far: ClickHouse schema trade-offs, million-token decoding, noisy LLM benchmarks, resumable agent streams and zero-trust agent security.

Prompts are the easy part.
The real challenge with AI agents begins in production: observability, isolation, access control, cost guardrails, rollback and recovery.
This is where AI starts looking a lot like a platform engineering problem.
Join us tomorrow for a hands-on workshop on how to operate agents reliably in production!
AI agents in production need more than prompts.
They need observability, access controls, cost limits, isolation, rollback, and recovery.
Join Rootconf’s hands-on workshop this Saturday: Platform Engineering for Production Agents by @_dforce
Rootconf retweeted
Agents are moving from local experiments into production workflows, and platform teams inherit the hard parts: liveness, observability, cost control, safety, access boundaries, recovery.
Join us tomorrow for the workshop on how to monitor agents!
Tomorrow: hands-on Rootconf workshop on Platform Engineering for production agents by @_dforce
Trace agent runs. Debug tool calls. Watch cost and failure modes. Add safety boundaries. Think like a platform team.
