FOSS-LÄND x OpenChain 2027
About This Event
FOSS-LÄND x OpenChain 2027 is an in-person open-source community event bringing together the FOSS-LÄND Community, the OpenChain Project, and other local and international open-source communities in Stuttgart, Germany.
The event focuses on open-source software supply-chain management, compliance, collaboration, security, and the organizational and technical challenges involved in using and developing open-source software. It provides a meeting place for developers, software engineers, architects, product managers, Open Source Program Offices, legal and intellectual-property professionals, technology leaders, and others working with open source across a wide range of industries.
A central goal of the event is community collaboration and the practical exchange of knowledge. Rather than focusing exclusively on traditional conference presentations, FOSS-LÄND x OpenChain encourages interaction between communities, organizations, newcomers, and experienced open-source professionals. Topics can extend from software licensing and compliance to supply-chain security, open-source governance, artificial intelligence, automation, and emerging open technologies.
The main community program takes place on March 22 and 23, with March 24 providing an opportunity for additional community activities. The event continues the OpenChain and Friends community-event format, emphasizing collaboration, accessibility, knowledge sharing, and connections between local and international open-source communities.
One Country — Many Groups — One Voice.
Canada's open-source community.
