Join us for two days of talks, workshops and panels with the most relevant experts from the Free and Open Source Software world.

The FOSS Backstage online experience will comprise a livestream with chat, networking, a virtual get together and more.

Our on-site venue TUECHTIG is a former industry loft in a former lightbulb factory turned into an event space with a focus on accessibility in Berlin’s Wedding.

The two day conference is dedicated to everything related to FOSS governance and open collaboration. The fourth edition of FOSS Backstage will consist of one fully virtual day followed by one in person day taking place here in Berlin. The in person day in Berlin will be live streamed for those attending virtually, and virtual attendees will be able to ask speakers questions.

FOSS Backstage provides a space to discuss a broad spectrum of issues related to community management, vendor neutrality and leading projects without discretionary power. Conference topics will include open source project leadership best practices, community management, open source project metrics, open source strategy for enterprise, adopting open source collaboration in corporations, legal matters when dealing with open source and many more.
