FOSSY (Free and Open Source Software Yearly) is focused on the creation and impact of free and open source software, uplifting contributors of all experience.

Taking place in Portland, OR, we hope FOSSY will be a community focused event that invites local community, as well as the wider internet and global communites we have formed over the years. Whether you are a long time contributing member of a free software project, a recent graduate of a coding bootcamp or university, or just have an interest in the possibilies that free and open source software bring, FOSSY will have something for you.

With around ten tracks with talks over four days, for community building, development and legal and licensing issues, the conference will provide ample learning and networking opportunities for contributors of all levels of experience. There will be hands on workshops, lightning talks and traditional 50 minute talks.

The 2018 Seattle GNU/Linux Conference is scheduled for November 9th and 10th at Seattle Central College. 9am-5:30pm both days.

SeaGL is a grassroots technical conference dedicated to spreading awareness and knowledge about the GNU/Linux community and free/libre/open-source software/hardware. Our goal for SeaGL is to produce an event which is as enjoyable and informative for those who spend their days maintaining hundreds of servers as it is for a student who has only just started exploring technology options. SeaGL's first year was 2013.

The cost of attendance is free.

Attendee Registration will not require the use of non-free software.

You may attend SeaGL without identifying yourself, and you are encouraged to do so to protect your privacy.

Come meet up with us and learn about open source tech while you eat up on tacos!

This is a group that will host Techies & Tacos, a meetup for all developers, especially those who are enthusiastic about OSS. It is sponsored by New Relic and hosted at their engineering headquarters in Portland, Oregon.

You will learn about OS technologies such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Kubernetes, and Jaeger, while munching on delicious tacos!

FOSSY (Free and Open Source Yearly) is a 4-day conference addressing many of the most pressing issues faced by individuals who feel trapped and mistreated by the software and devices permeating society. Over fifty exceptionally qualified speakers will talk about the ethical, legal, social, and technological aspects of how we get to a better world, where computers actually serve and empower the people who use them. Attendees of all experience levels, including those completely new to free and open source software, will find sessions of interest. Registration is on a sliding scale, and includes breakfast,refreshments, and a social event to meet and network with speakers and other attendees.

Put on by Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit organization centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the right to repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and defend these rights through fostering free and open source software (FOSS) projects, driving initiatives that actively make technology more inclusive, and advancing policy strategies that defend FOSS (such as copyleft).
