#OSCON was the only true interdisciplinary #FOSS conference in North America. It had a serious flaw that it was controlled by a for-profit company. Nevertheless, it was the only event here that brought *every* area of FOSS together each year.
The pandemic ended OSCON; it never came back. Other events exist, but they're not events where FOSS creators from every discipline meet.
#FOSSY shall become the #FOSDEM of North America (but you can actually walk in the halls🤣).
#SFC's polymath North American #FOSS conference — #FOSSY — occurs in Vancouver, BC, Canada in mid-August.

The #CfP closes SOON! There are many tracks, but I particularly urge you to submit to the #AI, Toolchain, & the Licensing/Legal tracks (as I'm on those committees).
I can't promise talk acceptance, but track organizers prefer “hard decisions” — by receiving more excellent submissions than fit. Thanks!

Hope to see you there, and any questions feel free to ask.
Over next 1-2 weeks,I'd appreciate an extended thread re: #FrameworkLaptop, #mntreform, & #FOSS.
TL;DR on my idiosyncratic needs:
* minimize binary firmware blobs¹
* Having 2 disks in RAID-1²
* Runs stock Official #Debian stable³
* Understanding best current replacement keyboard options⁴
* Form factor that works for my travel needs.
Is @frameworkcomputer or @mntmn better for me?
I'd be glad if ∃ active engagement on this!
