GitHub Universe 2026 closing keynote: open source voices, demos, and the craft of coding
We are ending GitHub Universe 2026 the way it started: with the people who build in the open. Join Maggie Appleton, Martin Woodward, and Jocelyn Velarde for a final closing keynote session of open-source voices, unexpected demos, and the kind of nerdy joy that reminds you why you got into coding in the first place. Explore how community-driven software, creative experiments, and open collaboration continue to shape the future of software development. Speakers: Maggie Appleton, Staff Research Engineer, GitHub Martin Woodward, VP, Developer Relations, GitHub Jocelyn Velarde, GitHub Campus Expert, Tec de Monterrey Watch more videos from GitHub Universe 2026: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AArI948SDz8&list=PLENrlACZ7mnU — CHAPTERS — 00:00 Welcome to GitHub Universe 2026 02:10 The hackable badges project 05:17 Learning with GitHub copilot 11:11 Ai's impact on open source 15:43 Scaling projects with AI agents 19:08 The evolving Developer role 21:27 Introducing chopin: collaborative AI planning 21:45 Maggie Appleton on chopin 28:47 Ai's impact beyond tech 30:34 Interview with campus expert jocelyn balanda 34:29 The craft of coding: final demo 39:32 GitHub Universe 2026 closing keynote #GitHubUniverse #OpenSource #SoftwareDevelopment Stay up-to-date on all things GitHub by connecting with us: YouTube: https://gh.io/subgithub Blog: https://github.blog X: https://twitter.com/github LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/github Insider newsletter: https://resources.github.com/newsletter/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/github TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@github About GitHub It’s where over 180 million developers create, share, and ship the best code possible.
