Software Freedom Conservancy is so proud to announce that we are hosting a
|
|
||||||
community oriented conference this coming summer. FOSSY (Free and Open Source
|
|
||||||
Yearly) is focused on the creation and impact of free and open source software,
|
|
||||||
uplifting contributors of all experience. We are also mindful of having a safe
|
|
||||||
environment for all. In this new time of conferences, we will be focused on
|
|
||||||
COVID safety and making sure all attendees feel safe participating as much as
|
|
||||||
they feel comfortable (we will have a detailed policy published in the coming
|
|
||||||
weeks).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Taking place in Portland, OR, we hope FOSSY will be a community focused
|
|
||||||
event that invites local community, as well as the wider internet and global
|
|
||||||
communites we have formed over the years. Whether you are a long time
|
|
||||||
contributing member of a free software project, a recent graduate of a
|
|
||||||
coding bootcamp or university, or just have an interest in the possibilies
|
|
||||||
that free and open source software bring, FOSSY will have something for
|
|
||||||
you.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For this first year we are running a conference of this scale, we are having
|
|
||||||
around 12 tracks with talks over 4 days. With tracks for community building,
|
|
||||||
development and legal and licensing issues, our conference will provide ample
|
|
||||||
learning and networking opportunities for contributors of all levels of
|
|
||||||
experience. There will be hands on workshops, lightning talks and
|
|
||||||
traditional 50 minute talks.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As we look to the future of conferences, we are excited to focus on using
|
|
||||||
free software to run a conference and will seek to help reduce the amount of
|
|
||||||
proprietary software that is treated as default.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
