The SFC is hosting their first ever Free and Open Source Software Yearly Conference (FOSSY) [0]! Free and Open Source Software is back at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, OR for a 4 day conference July 13-16, 2023. Join us to celebrate and learn about what makes the FOSS community so special and unique and to discuss the most critical issues in our field. The conference will focus on community driven initiatives in FOSS like licensing and legal approaches, community development as well as technical talks from contributors from all over the world. The health and safety of our attendees is an utmost priority for us and we will be publishing information about our covid protocols in the coming weeks. Tracks are listed here [1] and there is one on education [2]!!! The deadline for submissions is this Thursday, May 18th. The bar for submission is low, only an abstract of less than 500 words and there are a variety of formats: There are * Lightning Talks (5-10 min) * Short Presentation (20-25 min) * Long Presentation (40-45 min) I encourage you all to join us in Portland in July!
