Plénière n°1 / Keynote #1: The 750,000-Line Long Pull Request: Crafting a more Resilient Open Source Community

Description

Since 2011, a community of developers and economists are developing OpenFisca, an open source framework in Python that turns law into software so it can be used by administrations, economists and activists.
