title: About FOSSY
<p>FOSS is back in Portland, OR - July 13-16th 2023 at the Oregon Convention
Center!</p>

<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>

and a smile and thank you from all our conference staff and volunteers!</p>
<p>We are also looking for volunteers to help with registration, guiding
attendees from transit to the venue, and many other opportunities if you'd
like to donate your time instead of money to attend our conference.</p>
<p>If you are a student or have any financial hardship from this ticket price,
please reach out to us at conference@sfconservancy.org as we have a limited
number of scholarship tickets available. Please reach out, even if you are
not sure if your situation qualifies as we'd like to help as many people as
possible.</p>
