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 FOSS4G 2022 conference in Firenze, a number of spaces have been reserved for people to flock together in Birds of a Feather sessions.

How to organize a BOF
