About
OmniOpenCon is a gathering of people, projects and communities involved in all things open: open source, open data, open science, open hardware, open education. We value openness, freedom and sharing and we want to bring together all who share these beliefs.
OmniOpenCon is free as in free speech and as in free beer: everyone is welcome to attend for free, and all information and resources are publicly available. We follow the example and the spirit of FOSDEM.
The 3 day event consists of hands-on workshops in the first day (Friday, October 17, 2025), and talks on the second and third day (Saturday and Sunday, October 18-19, 2025). We welcome everyone to attend, either as a speaker, workshop organizer or participant. See you soon!
