The Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) was excited to host our first Open Source Services Meet-Up at EPFL on March 12th. The meet-up served as an opportunity for members of EPFL’s open source community to gather and share their ideas and experiences. This sharing kicked off with lightning talks which were followed by break-out sessions encouraging attendees to exchange on the subjects that they had voted for prior to the meeting.
