The Open Source Initiative, in collaboration with APELL, Eclipse Foundation, Github, Linux Foundation Europe, Mozilla, NLNET Labs, Open Forum Europe, OpenSSF, and Red Hat are delighted to invite you to submit a proposal for a talk, and join us for the 4th edition of the Open Source & EU Policy devroom at FOSDEM on Sunday, January 31st 2027, to explore how FLOSS interacts with the EU, including how ongoing and upcoming EU laws could impact the FLOSS ecosystem, what we have to gain, what we have to lose, and what needs to change.
The devroom will focus on bringing together FLOSS communities and EU lawmakers, including Members of the European Parliament, and Staff from the Parliament and the Commission, helping lawmakers improve their laws and address major challenges, such as digital sovereignty and secure, interoperable technology; while giving FLOSS communities and the Digital Commons a place to raise concerns, propose improvements and changes, and figure out how best to prepare for and respond to policy proposals.
We invite you to submit your proposals for talks by 1st December 2026 at noon CET at the latest. More details available at:
