There is no charge but we would love for you to sign up to become an FSF member if you aren't already.

Join online now or bring a credit card or checkbook to the event.

After hearing about all the exciting things going on at the FSF, we know you'll want to become an FSF member to support our work. Benjamin Mako Hill, FSF board member, and Joshua Gay, Campaigns Manager, are each going to address the crowd for a bit and then take some questions.

Refreshments include traditional cheese-covered pizza, vegan pizza, and beer.

Old Town Pizza is at 226 NW Davis, right next to the Old Town/Chinatown MAX stop.

Meet to have dinner and talk with other functional programming enthusiasts, whether locals or OSCON attendees.

We'll be upstairs.
