Ghent | Open Source AI Show & Tell 🦞 (Openclaw, Opencode, ...)
Description
The first Open Source AI Show & Tell in Ghent. 🦞 A handful of locals demo what they built or discovered with open-source AI tools. OpenCode, OpenClaw, local models, self-built agents, weird workflows that actually work. Then we talk about it over a drink. Bring your laptop if you want to follow along. What to expect: What to bring: Yourself. Optionally your laptop. The vibe: Casual. Curious. Beginner-friendly. Want to demo something? Send a message. About your host Nick Veenhof has been building open-source communities since before it was a career. He started contributing to Drupal in 2007, helped scale search infrastructure at Acquia, and co-organised Drupal Developer Days 2022 in Ghent (360 people, 40+ countries). He chairs the Belgian Drupal User Group and leads Developer Relations at GitLab, where his team works with thousands of open-source contributors worldwide. Ghent has a "pay it forward" culture. This is Nick paying it forward. This is not a corporate event. He is just curious what his neighbours are building.
