[FOSSY Organizing Team]

Thanks to all attendees and speakers for a great first day!!

### Social

Join us tonight at Koerner's Pub (about a 10 minute walk from the venue
[0]) for our conference social from 19:00-23:00 (minors can stay until
22:00). It's easiest to walk north on the mall and then a little west to
enter from the West Mall: look for the sign. Food will be provided and
drinks available for purchase. Make sure to bring your badge and if you
haven't checked in yet, we'll have the registration list there.

### Friday Morning

Tomorrow, registration will be open at 9:00am, and continental breakfast
will be available in KAIS 2020/2030 starting at 9:15am. Grab a bite and
some coffee before the opening keynote in ESB 1013. Tomorrow's keynote
is a panel titled: "CanRepair!  Exploring Canada's World-Leading Right
to Repair Efforts" featuring members of the Canadian Repair Coalition,
including Alissa Centivany, Denver Gingerich, Rick Gold, and Suvro
Ghosh.

### Keynote

After the keynote we will be presenting the Distinguished Service Award
in Software Freedom. This award is presented to an individual who has
embodied a lifetime of work and dedication to software freedom.

### Tracks

Open Source Governance and Community Stability and Toolchain and Other
Developer Tools tracks continue tomorrow. Fedicon, Legal Issues, and
Linux Kernel start tomorrow.

### Schedule

We'll have printed schedules at registration in the morning, but you can
also find out what's happening the rest of the day on:

### OpenWrt One

There are OpenWrt Ones for sale! As a Software Freedom Conservancy
project, each sale gives a $10 donation to the project to support
further development and sustain the project. Find the SFC booth in the
Main Hall (KAIS 2020/2030) to purchase one or get more information.

### Quiet Room

There is a quiet room located in KAIS 3028 for those who wish to have a
limited stimulus environment. It is open during the conference hours
9:00-18:30.

  * You can find (or return) any lost and found items at the
    registration desk.
  * If you ask a question during the keynote or a talk, you might be on
    video. So be mindful if you are trying to avoid being recorded (even
    if you are wearing a red lanyard)
  * Take a moment to refresh your memory about our code of conduct:

  * People are circulating the conference in bright orange hats if you
