About FOSSCON

How did FOSSCON come about?

The people behind FOSSCON are free software enthusiasts, user group members, coders and users — just like you! Free software is all about community and this is a very grassroots event, organized by the community and for the community. Our common goal is to provide a space for us to all come together in the northeast. I hope you’ll join us as an attendee, a volunteer or an exhibitor. Register to attend, http://fosscon.org/register/, or email us if you have questions about helping out, covering FOSSCON for the press, etc. (jonathand@fossevents.org)
