Application for the 2026 Community Village
Open Source Experience
The Open Source Associations Village is an essential space dedicated to open source communities during the Open Source Experience. Because associations play a vital role in the free and open digital ecosystem, this area highlights the volunteers who contribute every day to promoting and defending free software. It showcases their work in developing collaborative FOSS technologies and tools, as well as in nurturing and energizing communities of developers and users.
