Hello PMC Members,
The Call for Proposals is now open for the FOSSY (Free and Open Source Software Yearly) Conference, which will be held at Portland State University from July 31 to August 3, 2025. The Apereo Foundation is again organizing a dedicated "FOSS for Education" track covering open source software and broader open initiatives impacting higher education, e.g., OER, Open Science, etc. (see description below). The CFP closes May 5th.
This event is a key strategic initiative to help grow awareness of open source software within higher education and the adoption of open source projects like yours. To learn more about the conference and how to submit your proposal, see https://2025.fossy.us/
Even if you can't make it, please share the CFP with others (developers, campus end users) from your project who can attend. This is the only open source software in education annual conference I am aware of in North America. We'd love to grow the event to provide a forum for open source peers to meet and collaborate.
Thanks - Patrick

FOSS in and for Education
Educational institutions have a long and impactful history in the development of multiple open initiatives. In addition to free and open source software, colleges and universities have played significant roles in producing and propagating a variety of other open educational resources, such as open content, textbooks and courses, open access journals, open data, and science and research. Institutions of higher education play an essential role across several free and open source communities. As adopters, campuses occupy a unique space in--and provide a unique perspective for--the use of free and open source software at the enterprise level, often in conjunction with government and research institutions. At the same time, campus constituencies--students, staff, and faculty--provide yet another perspective as independent desktop and mobile end users. Higher education is also fertile ground for development, educating the next generation of developers while often actively creating and managing their own projects and communities of practice. The FOSS For Education Community Track would provide sessions dedicated to using, developing, and managing open resources within academic environments, from multi-institutional consortia to departmental projects. The track organizers would emphasize presentations and topics highlighting the common principles, practices, benefits, challenges, and models spanning the variety of open initiatives impacting teaching and learning environments and campus administration.
