🌟 Open Call for Applications for the upcoming 2024 Open Source Arts Contributor's Conference

The Clinic for Open Source Arts (COSA) at the University of Denver and the Processing Foundation are excited to announce the 2024 Open Source Arts Contributors Conference! 🔍 We are looking for applications from people who are current or potential contributors to open source creative software tool communities. Whether you are beginning your open-source journey 🚀 or already contributing, we want to hear from you! 📢 Contributors include those who are advocates🗣️, active forum participants📚, authors of documentation and tutorials🛠️, as well as those who contribute to the codebase or addons/libraries💻. We are especially interested in people who might be part of underrepresented identities within the creative open source software community. 📣 Additionally, we are seeking your nominations! Know a colleague or peer who's making waves, albeit quietly? Someone who's beginning to shape the field but hasn't yet stepped into the contributor's spotlight? We need your help finding exceptional (new or less visible) community members who may not yet call themselves contributors. We are especially interested in those who will bring new ideas and perspectives to our community. Nominate someone by sharing this form with them. 💌 Embrace this chance to not only showcase your own work 🖼️ but to discover and uplift the others in our midst. Let's collaborate & celebrate! 🧠Check out what happened at OSACC 2023 via COSA Report, p5.js Report, Attendee Vlog! Timeline: 📆 The call for applications will close on December 8, 2023 🏁 📆 Invitations to selected participants will be sent before January 15th 2024 📆 The conference will happen on April 11-13, 2024
