|  | <p>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).</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>If you are interested in sponsoring our conference, please see our | ||||||
|  | <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/Fossy-Prospectus.pdf">Sponsorship | ||||||
|  | Prospectus</a> or contact us at conference@sfconservancy.org</p> | ||||||

|  | title: Call for Proposals | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>Our official call for proposals has begun!</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>We had over FIXME-numberoftracks proposed by our incredible community, so | ||||||
|  | now we want to hear from you about how you fit into the mix! While our tracks | ||||||
|  | set the stage for the tone and overall character of the conference, there | ||||||
|  | are plenty of talks we've seen in the community that don't fit neatly into | ||||||
|  | any specific one of them. In that case, we'd love to see the ways you and | ||||||
|  | your community collaborate, use, build free software, and even ideas outside | ||||||
|  | free software that you think a broaded audience could benefit from!</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>Whether you have a talk about the history of software patents, a technical | ||||||
|  | dive into CAD software your makerspace uses, or ways your intentional community | ||||||
|  | has setup it's garden using open hardware and software to manage you beans, | ||||||
|  | we'd love to hear from you.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>Our submission process will use <a href="https://eldarion.com/symposion/">Symposion</a>, | ||||||
|  | an open source conference software. After making an account (so we know how | ||||||
|  | to contact you and keep track of the submissions process), you can submit | ||||||
|  | your talk which will be reviewed by our relevant volunteer track coordinates | ||||||
|  | and Software Freedom Conservancy staff.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>Our CFP will remain open until May 28th and we hope to hear from you.</p> | ||||||
