T-DOSE is a freely accessible Open Source conference, organized in the Eindhoven region since 2006. The event consists of a presentation track and a bazaar with stands. T-DOSE is completely organized by volunteers, and will be held on 31 May and 1 June 2025. The T-DOSE organization calls for proposals for talks. At the same time, we open registrations for participation in the bazaar, where stands will be available to open source projects and other related groups. https://t-dose.org/news/2025-call-for-participation/
