Together with our program committee, we want to shape a program that truly is “by the community for the community”. We are looking for talks which educate others on best practices or inspire further discussions in the following areas, which form our conference tracks:

- Governance & Community
- Economics
- Legal & Compliance
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Growing Open Source
- Security
- Design

For further inspiration and an overview of topics that are discussed at FOSS Backstage, you can have a look at the recordings of past editions of FOSS Backstage.

Related topics not explicitly listed above are, of course, welcome as well. We do not, however, accept product presentations or company marketing pitches.

Formats:

- Talk (30 min)
- Workshop (60 min)
- Panel (40 min)
- Off stage

Remote Sessions

We do offer the possibility to hold talks remotely for people who can’t travel to Berlin. If you choose to hold your session remotely, it will be streamed live to our online event platform and a stage at our venue in Berlin.
