Atita Arora describes her experience attending Apache Community Over Code 2023:

"🌐 Just back from an incredible journey at the Community Over Code conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia! 🚀
I've put together a trip report summarizing the key takeaways, insights, and highlights from the conference (along with some pictures!).

From thought-provoking sessions to networking with brilliant minds, this event has broadened my perspective on the world of open-source.
I'd like to express my gratitude to the organizers, speakers, and fellow attendees for making this experience unforgettable."
