The 20th anniversary of OSCON arrives next month on July 16, 2018, and Portland town can't wait for the geeks to come for a visit. This year continues the O'Reilly effort to move from that long-time practice of language-focus to the story of the past four years thinking more how the developer works every day.

On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, TNS Editor-in-Chief Alex Williams sat down with Rachel Roumeliotis, OSCON Chair and Vice President of Content Strategy at O'Reilly Media. Throughout the discussion, the two discussed what guests can expect at the conference, including what tracks are of note, the technologies behind them, and how open source must continue to bring diversity to its workforce.
