2017 Presentation Slides and Information
Birds Of A Feather (BoF)
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in BoF rooms, the BoF lounge, or can be taken off site for lunch or dinner. FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of events should be done informally through the community using the wiki and the on site BoF board.
BoF sessions rooms will be available through regular session times. There Are two rooms setup theater style without AV that are available. There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups. We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.
The community wiki page is: FOSS4G 2017 BirdsOfAFeather

FOSS4GHappyHour
With 68 days left until the conference we, the LOC, are going to start trying to connect more directly with those attending and thinking about attending. We are going to have happy hours with members of the committee and sub-committees. These sessions will be run in the form of an AMA (Ask Me Anything).
Live Video Stream:
