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?

@[email protected] oh, FediCon has a venue already?
@julian @bkuhn Yeah, this is the first I've heard of it!

@[email protected] @[email protected] ah, that's just the site from last year.

IIRC last I heard @[email protected] was looking at venues at Simon Fraser University.

@julian @evan @bkuhn

I have been looking for a venue, but I haven't booked one yet.

(A cousin of mine died recently — so a number of things slowed down a bit recently. Including that.)

@reiver @julian @bkuhn let us know if we can help.

@evan

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.
