The fourth edition of FOSSY -- the Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference -- will be here before you know it. It's happening August 6th-9th in Vancouver, BC, Canada. What makes FOSSY amazing is its genuine, dedicated community: the speakers, attendees, exhibitors, and volunteers. That community is getting a tremendous boost this year thanks to our organizing partnership with IEEE Vancouver, and the enthusiastic support of University of British Columbia faculty, staff, and students. This is a year you'll want to be part of.

Soon, someone should make sure to submit a track proposal. I'm not on the track selection committee so I can't promise acceptance, but I suspect what's called for is a pro forma proposal — noting the success of your event last year & include the attendee count you had from that.

From there, if accepted, someone from #SFC will be in touch on next steps.

If you are familiar w/ FOSDEM DevRooms, #FOSSY tracks are loosely based on that.

😳…sorry I missed that the year listed on that site was clearly 2025 & it wasn't obviously “archived”.
May I make lemonade out of my inability-to-tell-5-from-6 lemons & suggest that *maaaaybe*, depending in attendee count, perhaps #FediCon can be accommodated en-masse as a Community Track at #FOSSY? I hope you'll all just use the application form to suggest & then discussion can spark from there:

#FOSSY26 track proposals are open!! We take our inspiration from the devrooms at FOSDEM and LinuxConfAU's miniconfs. Some of the SFC hosted tracks you can look forward to FOSS in Daily Life, Licensing / Legal, and Software Coops. Thanks for helping us build #FOSSY26

FOSSY 2026 track proposals are open!

FOSSY 2026 (August 6th – 9th 2026 at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada) has opened our call for track proposals!! Our community led tracks have always been a highlight of the conference. Making space for what the community wants to talk about, and fostering discussion around key issues in software freedom is what FOSSY is all about. You can view the 2025, 2024, and inaugural 2023 track listings on the archived conference sites.
