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!
We had lots of excellent talks at FOSSY this year, and we'll be publishing recordings of them over the next couple weeks. Stay tuned on our low-volume announce list to hear when they're up!
Soon we will be calling for track organizers, so if you are interested stay on the lookout for announcements on our website, chat rooms, announce list mentioned above, and Fediverse. We're looking to start track organizers earlier this year so that we can help facilitate folks to properly plan, solicit, and support speakers. Our community driven tracks are a highlight to be able to make space for the issues that are important for all users and developers of free software.
You can find our sponsorship prospectus if you or your company wants to be ahead of the curve on supporting next year's event. FOSSY is a conference dedicated to uplifting the free software community and takes pride in being supported by organizations with similar values. As attendees will know, we ask our sponsors to stop creating proprietary software during opening remarks. Help us keep FOSSY community-focused!
