= Introduction =

Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

== General Information ==

At the [http://2026.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2026] conference in Hiroshima, a number of spaces have been reserved for people to flock together in Birds of a Feather sessions.

For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G [https://2026.foss4g.org/en/program-schedule/presentations/ schedule is available at here].

=== How to organize a BOF ===

BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in: BoF rooms or taken off-site for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

The FOSS4G conference provides the spaces, but the setup of the bird-of-feather meetup is done informally using this wiki.

=== Capacities ===

The BoF sessions rooms used are the ones in which the conference takes place, and are available during the hours listed below:
