FOSSY 2024 CFP announcement

Submit before June 14th

May 23, 2024

FOSSY 2024 CFP and ticket sales are now open! Join us in Portland, OR on August 1-4th at Portland State University. This year our track selection runs the gamut from Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Supporting User Groups, FOSS in Education, Reproducibility and much much more. Whether you are a veteran of the FOSS conference circuit, or just starting your speaking career, we want to hear from you! FOSSY is a community focused conference focused on being accessible and highlighting the incredible work happening in free software.

To submit a talk, please visit our Call for Proposals page to make an account and enter your talk under a specific track. If you aren't sure which track you fit into, or feel you are a bit outside the scope for any of the listed tracks, use the Wild card track. We are also soliciting panel suggestions for our keynotes, (which last year included a celebration for Outreachy's 1000th intern celebration and a timely community discussion about RHEL's licensing). Our CFP will be open until June 14th June 18th (with notice of acceptance the week of the 24th) so be sure to find us on IRC #conservancy on Libera.chat, XMPP or email. We will start having office hours at 19:00 UTC on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our chat room for anyone to come and ask questions.

Along with the opening of the CFP, we have opened ticket sales. If you'd like to provide extra support for the conference you can buy the $1,000 ticket. We also have professional tickets at $500, community tickets at $200, and discounted tickets at $35. If your company is interested in sponsoring the event, you can find our Sponsorship Prospectus here. You can email conference@sfconservancy.org if you have any questions, we can't wait to see you in August!
