| + | A birds of a feather (BoF) session is an opportunity for a small group interested in a particular topic to get together for a discussion. In the free software world, that could possibly mean having using a conference as an opportunity to have a BoF session for people interested in Replicant development or users of GNU Emacs. BoF sessions are especially useful for situations where the topic would not attract a large portion of the audience, or where the members of the group would like to go into more technical detail than usual. |
| − | | |
| − | The 11:50-12:35 session block on Sunday is reserved for birds of a feather sessions. BoFs are when a group gets together to talk about a particular shared interest, project, or problem.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We have five spaces available for BoFs: 32-123, 32-141, 32-144, 32-155, and 26-142.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the event there is more interest in running BoFs than there is space available: If you want to attend one, please add yourself (or something representing you) below its title. We'll announce BoFs and locations Sunday morning.
