At FOSS Backstage the stage belongs exclusively to the non-technical aspects of Free and Open Source Software. Join us in Berlin, where you’ll connect with community leaders, FOSS practitioners, executives, developers and technologists among many other stakeholders in the field. 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 aim 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
