Want to host a Birds of a Feather sessions (or BoFs) at ChennaiFOSS 2026?
Some of the most useful conversations at a conference happen when there’s no agenda, no slides, and no designated expert. Just people who care about the same thing, in the same room, talking it through. That’s what a BoF is.
Birds of a Feather sessions at ChennaiFOSS 2026 are open, informal gatherings around a topic you bring to the table. It could be a FOSS project you’re working on, open hardware, open data, FOSS in education or government, public policy, or anything else the community should be talking about.
A few things to know:
- Each BoF runs for 60 minutes
- The person who proposes it serves as the moderator. If you want to participate but not moderate, mention [Moderator Required] in your proposal title
- The moderator’s job is to keep the conversation moving, make sure everyone gets a chance to speak, and keep it on topic
- No formal presentations. This is a discussion, not a talk
To propose a BoF, reply to this thread with your topic and a short description of what you’d like the room to talk about.
Proposals close on April 8th. ChennaiFOSS is on April 18th and 19th.
If you have a topic worth gathering people around, put it forward.
