In early October 2019, twenty-seven people gathered in Denver Colorado at the University of Denver to discuss the current state and future of the open-source C++ library, openFrameworks. Over five days, a group of new and old contributors had intense discussions around the code, the community, sustainability, documentation, and educational resources of OF, assessing what it is doing well and how it could be doing better. From this, the Roadmap v2.0 was developed to guide OF into the next five years. The event was led by a steering committee made up of Chris Coleman, Christopher Baker, Caroline Record, and Samantha Ticknor, with consultations and guidance from Arturo Castro, Theo Watson, and Zach Lieberman. The event was hosted by the Clinic for Open Source Arts, an initiative form the Emergent Digital Practices Program at the University of Denver and funded by the Knight Foundation with additional support from the Madden Center for Innovation in the Liberal and Creative Arts.
