Karen SandlerToday's the deadine on track submissions for #FOSSY! Don't forget to get yours in! FOSSY follows the #FOSDEM model, with community led tracks, so you all decide what the content of the conference is!
Bradley M. KühnSoon, 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:

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.
