🚨 Call for Funding 🚨

Dear FOSS Community,

the challenging situation in the IT industry has caused many of our partners to decide not to book a booth this year. As a result, we are short on funds for the conference, including event technology, exhibition walls, video streaming, children’s and youth programs, volunteer meals, transportation costs, and insurance.

We are specifically looking for conference partners and also still need a coffee partner 😭

Help us keep FrOSCon alive: 👉 https://froscon.org/en/cfp/cfpartners/

FrOSCon CfP is open!

Focus areas

• It’s the end of the world as we know it – Prepping for crisis with FLOSS
• Unbreak your phone – A life without iOS and Android
• Someone gonna pay - is it you? – Funding for Open Source
• Patch it, fix it, print it – Right to repair for software and hardware
• Lower the barriers – How to make OSS accessible for everyone
• Who can you trust? – Making and accepting contributions in 2026

The preparation weekend for the 21st FrosCon is, sadly, slowly but surely coming to an end.

We’ll be publishing the CfPs (Calls for Papers / Projects) over the coming weeks. So stay tuned. :)

Best wishes from the LinuxHotel!
