The FOSSY schedule has been set [0]! With four days of talks and
workshops, we are looking forward to a fantastic conference. Thanks to
all our incredible track organizers and speakers for working with us to
create a jam packed weekend of FOSS. We look forward to building this
conference with you all in Portland, OR this July 13-16th.

Join us Thursday the 13th for registration and a welcome lunch, then
there are 2 workshops and 3 tracks to choose from! Grow Your Project
Workshop, Free BSD Workshop, AArch64/ARM64 Servers and Open Source, FOSS
For Education, XMPP.

Friday the 14th we'll begin with a keynote and coffee and continue with
FOSS For Education, Sustainable Open Source Business, Community: Open
Source in Practice, FOSS at Play: Games, creative development, and open
technology, and 2 half day tracks for BSD Unix and Copyleft and
Compliance.

Saturday the 15th has continuations for FOSS For Education and
Community: Open Source in Practice also FOSS in Daily Life, Diversity
Equity and Inclusion and FOSS, Security, Issues in Open Work.

Sunday the 16th rounds out the conference with day 2 of Diversity Equity
and Inclusion and FOSS and Software Worker Coops, Open Source AI + Data,
Container Days, Science of Community.

Registration is open and ticket sales are ramping up. Be sure to buy
your ticket [1] to give us time to accommodate food orders and dietary
restrictions. And our hotel block at the Hyatt [2] still has rooms
available that we want to fill. It's a great time to visit Oregon so
make the most and see some sights while you are there.

If you would like to volunteer, we are looking for people to help out
with setup/ cleanup, room hosting, code of conduct enforcement and the
other tasks listed on our volunteering page [3]. Volunteers will get a
complimentary ticket, good for all 4 days of the conference.

We are so thankful for all the effort and patience the community has
shown us with our first time running a conference. As this first year
will be a learning opportunity for us, we hope to gain experience from
working cooperatively with all of you to find out how to best serve our
community and provide a meaningful conference experience. Working with
you all is a pleasure and thank you so much for building this conference
with us!
