I try not to overlap activism in other areas w/ FOSS, but I'm making an exception b/c…cross-booking.

An activist group called Chub Hub PDX has an annual pool party event. In 2025, it overlaps w/ the Saturday of #FOSSY…

… If you're coming to FOSSY & you identify as fat, or are a body-positivity ally, check it out. Event is queer friendly & to all gender identities.

Tickets sell at fast — starting SAT 2025-05-31 12:00 PDT.

The Call for Proposals for @conservancy's #FOSSY Conference, held at Portland State University from Jul 31 to Aug 3, 2025, is open thru May 5.

The conference has a "FOSS for Education" track covering #OpenSource software and broader open initiatives, such as #OER, #OpenScience, etc.

See https://2025.fossy.us/

Even if you can't make it, please share. The organizers are working hard to grow the event and provide a forum for open developers to meet peers and collaborate.

FOSSY CFP Extended to May 5th.

If you work with or support #OpenSource--or other open initiatives (#OER, #OpenScience, etc.) in #HigherEducation, @conservancy's annual #FOSSY Conference is an ideal place to share your work, find colleagues, and grow your network.

Please consider submitting a proposal to present your interests, ideas, and insights. Apereo is organizing a #FOSS for #Education for #HigherEd oriented projects, developers, faculty, and researchers.
