#FOSSY is organized around tracks submitted and run by community members. You can still get your proposal in at https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/ to help shape this year's event! Personally I'd love to see some around #mobile, #ai, and licensing. (Separately, or together!)

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:

Correction: I can't tell 5 from 6 sometimes due to dyslexia. FOSSY 2026 in same venue as FediCon 2025.

😲…I realized #FediCon is in *same* venue as #FOSSY!

I hope #Fediverse folks going to event will be able stay in Vancouver for FOSSY!

Also, I suspect #SFC would welcome a Fediverse track at FOSSY…

…maybe as a B-sides event for overflow talks?

We've just heard from the court, the #Vizio trial is scheduled for August 10th! You can join us at #FOSSY in Vancouver, BC and then head down the coast to California for the trial.

Thanks for all your support during this process and while we hope it doesn't get rescheduled again, we're ready to work to #DefendTheGPL as always!
