Returning to the University of British Columbia, FOSSY 2027 will be August 5-8th next year! The campus was enjoyed by all attendees and allowed us to connect with the local student and staff communities. Being close to the coast, mountains, and city allowed conference goers to explore the locality and even get to know the local free software community!
