How You Can Help

Submit information about missing user groups or listed groups which no longer meet

If you have a BSD-related presentation, make sure it is uploaded to the conference's website or a public site (such as your own website or slideshare) and that the URL is listed at bsdevents.org

Let us know if you have an upcoming BSD presentation at a non-BSD event

How You Can Help

Submit information about upcoming conferences which are not already listed on the calendar

Let us know about CFPs so that we can encourage more BSD submissions. If you see a CFP, consider a submission!

Contact us if you are putting together an event or booth and need swag
