Take our Keynote survey here!

At FOSSY we're focused on the most important issues facing Free and Open Source Software today. Rather than inviting single speakers to give canned talks, we prefer to have panels on timely and critical issues that are facing the FOSS community. Instead of assuming what issues should be elevated to the keynote stage, we want to hear from you!

We are excited to focus on using free software to run a conference and will seek to help reduce the amount of proprietary software that is treated as default.

If you are interested in sponsoring our conference, please see our Sponsorship Prospectus or contact us at conference@sfconservancy.org.
