Reproducibility as a Social Contract

Join Stormy Peters (Head of Open Source Marketing and Strategy, AWS) and James Bayer (Product Leader, Flox) for a conversation on reproducibility as a social contract—the shared expectations that let teams and communities collaborate without re-litigating environments or “works on my machine.” They’ll explore what it takes to make reproducibility the norm, the tradeoffs involved, and why it matters in both enterprises and open source. As automation produces more of what we ship, they’ll ask whether reproducibility is now non-negotiable—and what it means for humans and machines alike.
