Yeah but the F is FOSSY stands for First. Either they change the name next year or it doesn't make sense.
As someone mentioned Fossdem, the is also the LibreGraphics thing, and perhaps some other smaller ones.
The name is IMHO a very poor choice. My suspicion is they actually thought this would be a first of its kind, but that would mean they are not the right people to do this.
- detaro 3y ago> Yeah but the F is FOSSY stands for First It clearly stands for "Free", where do you get that idea?
- phkahler 3y agoHahha, yes! That was really stupid on my part: >>The first Free and Open Source Software Yearly conference Sure the word "first" is in there but it doesn't even have the capital F like Free.... Bows head in shame....
