Call for Participation: Devroom on FOSS Funding at FOSDEM

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation for the first "Funding the FOSS Ecosystem" devroom at FOSDEM 2025. Submission deadline is December 1. Read the Call for Participation for all the details on how to submit.

The goal of this devroom is for developers to gain insights into funding strategies and to engage more #FOSS users like companies & governments in FOSS funding. We bring together developers, maintainers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, donors and funders to explore various funding models and mechanisms that ensure the longevity and security of FOSS projects.
