Dear Team at Debian,

We’re reaching out, because you might be interested in our conference
FOSS Backstage. We just published the full schedule for *FOSS Backstage
2025*and announced our keynote speaker.

FOSS Backstage will take place on *March 10-11 in Berlin*, and is the
premier event dedicated to the *non-technical aspects of Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS)*. The conference offers a unique platform for
*community leaders, practitioners, executives, developers, and
technologists*to connect, collaborate, and explore key issues
surrounding FOSS community, management and compliance. Whether you
attend in person or online, you’ll have the chance to network with more
than 200 of the brightest minds in the field and gain insights to drive
your projects forward.

We’re excited to welcome *Jutta Horstmann*as our keynote speaker. In her
talk she will speak about *"Digital Sovereignty and Open Source –
Shaping an Answer to Geopolitical Instabilities."*
As the CEO of ZenDiS, Germany’s Center for Digital Sovereignty, Jutta
leads the effort to empower public institutions in Germany to achieve
digital independence through innovative open-source solutions.

The full conference schedule, which includes tracks on *Governance &
Community, Economics, Legal & Compliance, Diversity & Inclusion, Growing
Open Source, Security,*and *Design*, is now live. Explore over 40 talks
