Fork it! For Kids returns for a second edition, growing in scale, ambition, and impact. In this interview, lead organizer Jeanne Grenet reflects on the origins of the project, the challenges of welcoming nearly twice as many children, and the moments that confirmed the event’s success. With additional insight from workshop leader Noé Tatoud, this article looks back on what was learned—and forward to the future of Fork it! For Kids.
React Advanced is one of Europe’s flagship conferences for experienced React engineers, bringing together maintainers, seasoned developers, and curious builders ready to explore the future of the React ecosystem. The event delivered warm reunions, standout technical talks—like explorations of custom React renderers and deep dives into tools like tldraw—and a lively after-party that perfectly captured the energy and camaraderie of the React community.
The API Platform Conference in Lille celebrated the project’s 10th anniversary, bringing together over 400 developers and tech leaders. Talks covered PHP, Symfony, and the broader API ecosystem, highlighting both technical depth and community spirit. The event stood out as a memorable mix of learning, networking, and celebrating open source innovation.
