An open source ethos which embodies principles such as transparency, collaboration, and community-driven development was embraced with open arms.
To gain exposure to software-powered innovation, daqhris was an active contributor to the Free and Open Source Software Developer Conference in Brussels every year since 2020. The annual conference enabled him to remain connected with the European software developer community, despite lacking the right to attend university or work professionally in the field.
As a volunteer, one of his most memorable acts was standing on stage in front of a packed amphitheater in February 2023, while homeless in Brussels, to introduce a scientific talk on 'Open Source Software at NASA', presented by an American astronomer, when celebrating 25 years of open-source with volunteering and attending peers.
In the second half of the following year, daqhris ingeniously crafted an online art book, book.awalkaday.art, which spotlights various aspects of his git-enabled artistic practice and was published by using a technical documentation tool, GitBook.
