In this interactive meetup, we'll run an un-conference style discussion on the topic of LLMs/GenAI and FOSS. Bring your opinions and thoughts. If you're completely against LLMs, we want to hear from you! If you haven't written any code by hand for the last 6 months and want talk about your tools and techniques, we want to hear from you too!

The goal of this meetup is especially to focus in on those who need/want to LLMs safely and responsibly for "important" software. What are the shared best practices, tools and procedures? What can we do to use these tools to address prior problems around things like supply chain security?

The submitter of this workshop has a lot of of experience and opinions, but is looking to have a realistic in-person discussion where different tools and experiences are presented and attendees can learn from each other.

Proposed topics:

• Scale of change
• Contribution policies
• Sandboxing & Security
• Effectiveness (Ralph loops, Planning vs exec models, skills, ...)
• Orchestrators and workflow (Gastown, Fullsend, Paperclip)
• Discussion of the future
