Welcome to BIOS: Why We're Building This Community
By BIOS Founding Team
Open source has transformed the technology industry, but representation, visibility, mentorship, and opportunities for Black professionals in the ecosystem still need to grow.
That's why we launched BIOS (Black In Open Source), a community dedicated to connecting, supporting, and amplifying Black developers, engineers, architects, contributors, maintainers, students, and technology leaders who are passionate about open source.
Our goal is simple: share knowledge and opportunities, build meaningful professional networks, support learning and mentorship, increase Black representation in open source communities, and celebrate contributions and achievements.
Whether you're contributing to your first GitHub repository, maintaining projects used by thousands, speaking at conferences, or simply interested in open source, BIOS is a place for you.
This is more than a LinkedIn group. It's a community where we can learn from one another, collaborate on projects, create opportunities, and help the next generation of Black technologists thrive.
Let's build, contribute, and grow together.
