FOSS Backstage returns for its seventh edition and we are excited to announce that both the CfP and our ticket are now open! Just like the 2024 edition, FOSS Backstage will take place at bUm (Paul-Lincke-Ufer 21, 10999 Berlin) as well as online.
Our main aim is to bring together the brightest minds in the field to discuss and explore all the non-technical aspects of Free and Open Source Software: Community, Management & Compliance. To bridge the gaps between different projects, license models, communities and organisations around our shared interests, challenges and goals, we rely on your active involvement.
Tickets
Our Ticket Shop is now officially open. Good to know – Save more than 40% with our Early Bird Tickets, available until 8th December.
To promote diversity at FOSS Backstage, we offer Diversity Tickets, which are fully sponsored (i.e. free) tickets available to people from under-represented groups within the FOSS Backstage community. Learn more about them in our dedicated Diversity & Inclusion section.
Call for Participation
Collaborating with our program committee, our goal is to create a program that accurately represents the community’s needs and interests, educates others on best practices, or inspires further discussion. Whether it is a talk, workshop, panel discussion or off-stage presentation, on-site or remote, we look forward to hearing your ideas.
