Conference Description:

The two-day conference brings together the brightest minds in the industry to discuss and explore all about FOSS community, management and compliance. At FOSS Backstage the stage belongs exclusively to the non-technical aspects of Free and Open Source Software.

From managing thriving communities to navigating the legal landscape, we’ve got you covered. Discover how to set up your project for success and get involved in solving the issues that hold back Open Source.

At FOSS Backstage we want to bridge the gaps between different projects, license models, communities and organisations by bringing everyone together around our shared interests, challenges and goals in open source software.

On three stages we will discuss a range of topics in the seven conference tracks:

Governance & Community
Economics
Legal & Compliance
Diversity & Inclusion
Growing Open Source
Security
Design

The team contacted me thanks to a referral from Cornelius. They would like to feature our story of building a design system and working with an Open Source development community like KDE. They had Gnome last year and they feel they would like to have US there too.
