from time to time we want to inform you bout new events and conferences. The annual meeting of the Libreoffice-Foundation is certainly worth to mention here...

LibreOffice Conference 2025 will take place in Budapest, Hungary - probably on September 1 – 5

the board members of the Libre-Office Dcument-Foundation announced some day ago: LibreOffice Conference 2025 will take place in Budapest

For this year’s LibreOffice Conference we had two location proposals: Luxembourg and Budapest. Members of The Document Foundation voted to choose the final location, and we can announce that Budapest is the winner.
Currently, the expected date for the conference is September 1 – 5, but this is still subject to change. We will confirm the final dates soon, then the fun begins: the call for papers, building up the schedule, planning social events and more…

Hello everyone, good day dear friends on AnandTech

by the way: I'm happy to regularly add some news about Events and conferences in the world of Linux and Open-Source.

come to Berlin - 15-17 June 2025 @ Kulturbrauerei Berlin Buzzwords is Europe’s leading conference for modern data infrastructure, search and machine learning and is focused on open source software projects.

see the full shedule: https://2025.berlinbuzzwords.de/schedule/





image - taken from the project-page: see link below!

What the #bbuzz is all about/ We’ve asked our video team to capture the essence of Berlin Buzzwords on film – here’s the result!

Berlin Buzzwords is Europe’s leading conference for modern data infrastructure, search and machine learning and is focused on open source software projects. At #bbuzz leading experts present, demystify and educate an international audience on a range of modern industry trends. It provides an independent, vendor neutral platform for developers, engineers, IT architects, analysts and data scientists who are interested in information retrieval, the searchability of large amounts of data and big data processing. Berlin Buzzwords further offers a place to network within and across the different communities, and to amplify the idea of Open Source above and beyond the realm of software development.

Link: https://2025.berlinbuzzwords.de/schedule/


By the way: generally spoken: I'd like to put forward a suggestion that I believe would add significant value to our community: a dedicated subforum or event calendar for community events, conferences, hackathons, meetups, CFP deadlines, etc.

Why? In the open source world, events are more than just appointments – they are places for networking, innovation, and participation. Especially for all of us, who are new to the community, it's often difficult to even find out about relevant conferences or community meetups. A central location for such information would be:

a interesting place for some announcements bout gatherings, meetings etc.
- it would promote engagement (make it easier to participate) . and besides that
- make our community more visible-
- strengthen exchange
.... and help us connect better with one another



just my two cents

 

[esquared]

Too many of them here and this is close to borderline spam.

All subsequent threads need to be put in here.

 

[thedighubs]

good evening dear exquared

thank you - no problem here:

You must put them here. Do not make a separate thread --​

wow this is a awesome ideas - it sounds very cool ... one thread fits it all ... nice.


by the way: I'm happy to regularly add some news about Events and conferences in the world of Linux and Open-Source.

btw; i think its pretty interesting for the communitiy to get some data regarding confercenes /&workshops and so on:;

Therefore: I'd like to put forward a suggestion that I believe would add significant value to our community: a dedicated subforum or event calendar for community events, conferences, hackathons, meetups, CFP deadlines, etc.

Debian Conf is back in France: #DebCamp July 7th-13th & #DebConf25 14th to 19th 2025 :: Brest - France :: IMT Atlantique - Brest Campus

Welcome to DebConf25! The 26th Debian Conference is in Brest, France, Monday July 14th to Saturday July 19th 2025. DebCamp will be held from Monday July 7th to Sunday July 13th 2025.

Logo taken from the Project-Page see links below:

full info:

tge camp: What is DebCamp
We received some questions about “what is DebCamp” and “how is DebCamp different from DebConf”. We wrote this text to help you decide whether to come early to Brest to take part in DebCamp (the week before DebConf). DebCamp is the hacking session right before DebConf. DebCamp usually occurs in the week before DebConf itself. It’s a week for Debian contributors to focus on their Debian-related projects, tasks, or problems uninterrupted. DebCamps are largely self-organized since it is for people who would like to do some work. Some prefer to work alone, while some prefer to participate in or organize sprints. Both are great, although we strongly encourage you to plan your DebCamp week in advance.
If you are around and looking for something to do, please get in touch with the DebConf organization team on the #debconf-team IRC channel. You can also find more information under the volunteers’ section. :: https://debconf25.debconf.org/about/debcamp/


About DebConf:

DebConf is the annual conference for Debian contributors and users interested in improving Debian. Previous Debian conferences have featured speakers and attendees from all around the world. The last DebConf, DebConf24, took place in Busan, South Korea and was attended by 346 participants from over 45 countries.

DebConf25 is taking place in Brest, France from July 14 to July 19, 2025.
It is being preceded by DebCamp, from July 7 to July 13, 2025
