Dear free BSD-Team, I'd like to invite you to join us for the first FOSS Backstage <https://foss-backstage.de/> conference on June 13&14 in Berlin. It will take place directly after Berlin Buzzwords <https://berlinbuzzwords.de/>; and is dedicated to everything related to *Free and Open Source Software governance and open collaboration*. FOSS Backstage will provide a space to discuss a broad spectrum of issues related to community management, vendor neutrality and leading projects without discretionary power. Conference topics will include open source project leadership best practices, community management, open source project metrics, open source strategy for the enterprise, adopting open source collaboration in corporations, legal matters when dealing with open source and many more. With Shane Coughlan <https://foss-backstage.de/news/shane-coughlan-confirmed-keynote> (OpenChain) and Danese Cooper <https://foss-backstage.de/news/announcing-danese-cooper-our-keynote> (Head of Open Source Software at PayPal) we have already announced two high-quality keynotes to kick-off the first edition of the conference. Additionally the Apache Software Foundation will hold their Apache EU Roadshow <https://foss-backstage.de/news/apache-roadshow-fossback> at FOSS Backstage. For the conference we are expecting around 400 participants: community leaders, developers, architects, sysadmins, consultants – basically everyone interested in building, managing and sustaining communities within the open source space. We would be happy to see you get involved, whether it's by getting an early bird ticket, reserving a booth space or talking to us about partnerships tailored to your needs and wishes. If your organisation is interested in supporting us as a sponsor, feel free to contact me for more details on partnership opportunities. We have special offers for non-profits. We also offer combined packages with Berlin Buzzwords which takes place right before the FOSS.
