Open Source Project Collaboration Space
If your project is interested in hosting a sprint or other mini-conference at
Linuxfest Northwest there is very limited space to host projects. Please
include as much information about your project, how you plan to advertise the
sprint, and expected attendance.
Previous examples for these spaces have been PostgreSQL track, Drupal code
sprints, KDE days, LibreOffice dev sprints, and a Fedora user track. You can
reserve a room for sessions, code sprints, or unconferences.
