We’ve had a lot of questions from you asking about when FOSS backstage will be this year and how you can get involved and submit papers. We’re delighted that so many of you had a great time last year and are looking forward to attending this year. We’re hoping that we can build on the great event we had last year and are currently looking for the perfect venue. We’re hoping that we’ll be back in the summer or autumn.

Wow – The first edition of FOSS Backstage is over and it was amazing! Almost 300 participants joined the event over two days to learn about and discuss FOSS governance, legal and compliance questions, asynchronous collaboration, Open Source Business and many more topics.

Ahead of the upcoming panel discussion 'Building an open source business' at FOSS Backstage, it's useful to review the commercial models most commonly applied by Open Source projects.

We are very happy to announce the first round of confirmed speakers for the first ever FOSS Backstage.

Join the FOSS Backstage team and become a volunteer. Be a vital part of the conference while you get a behind-the-scenes look. And the best part is: You get a full conference ticket for free!

Now that the call for Papers has ended we want to tell you more about what to expect at FOSS Backstage. It’s not just another developer conference, but provides a platform to discuss and learn about all non-technical aspects of open source development.

The call for submissions has closed and we are very excited to have received over 90 submissions for the first FOSS Backstage.

The Call for Papers is almost over and we are proud to introduce our programme committee!

We have received so many great proposals already and would like to thank everyone for your enthusiasm! After receiving multiple inquiries about moving the deadline, we are happy to announce that we have decided to extend the Call for Papers.
