@nknize.bsky.social (creator of OpenSearch) just gave a 🔥 talk on what’s next.

I think I'll have to hold back a blog article I want to post until after I've seen this session.

Or maybe post it and then do the brown paper bag update in March ...?

Today at 10:00 @ #fossbackstage, my colleague @cschum and I are going to talk about "getting real with the supply chain". The session will be about how the #ospo at #deutschebahn generates actionable insights from vast data and navigates the triangle of risk/value/people.
