<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is so proud to announce that we are hosting a community oriented conference this coming summer. We want to provide a space that is focused on the creation and impact of free and open source software, uplifting contributors of all experience and being 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.</p> <p>Software Freedom Conservancy is so proud to announce that we are hosting a community oriented conference this coming summer.
