This year the software freedom conservancy is going to host the Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference (July 13-16th 2023). They are modeling a lot of it on FOSDEM. I am going to apply for a dev room for the community. So a couple of questions: 1. Anyone available/ willing to help? 2. what should we name the DevRoom? 3. Would you be able to speak at the event? If you have had experience submitting a Dev Room request in the past, please let me know. @ramereth this might be a good chance for your students to attend/speak at an OSS event. > **[FOSSY - Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/)** > > The Software Freedom Conservancy provides a non-profit home and services to Free, Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. ---

We got accepted, so we will have at least a one day track. I will post a more detailed post in a little bit, but I wanted share the news. So if you: - want to help organize - want to speak - have a topic that you would like to see (even if you can’t go) - a speaker that you would like to see Please post here as we start planning.
