+excerpt: A conference is great because its content is amazing, therefore we need more ...
+---
+We are currently in the middle of the preparations for another awesome [Opportunity Open Source](https://oosc3ubucon.netlify.app/), this time co-located with the first UbuCon India. We have already reserved the space in the IIT Kanpur (where we have also been last year), lined up a volunteer team for all the on-location organization work, contacted potential sponsors and potential speakers, announced the event on several platforms, ...
+
+But the most important is to deliver amazing content: Talks, workshops, panel sessions, demos tables/booths, and ...
+
+**Meet-ups and BoFs**
+
+This year we accept meet-ups and BoF sessions as a new session format and plane to make available an extra room for them.
+
+This way you can meet for informal discussions, like for example planning Ubuntu community activity in India, working out a new free software application project, establishing free software use in schools or public administration, ...
+
+It is also a chance for leading developers of an open-source project coming from overseas and meeting their Indian developer community.
+
+And, as we are always dealing with free and open-source software anybody is highly welcome to join these sessions, learn about the work of free software organiations and getting involved ...
+
+But, was there not already the submission deadline today? Yes, but we have extended it by one month, to give you enough time for planning. The [**Call for Proposals**](https://events.canonical.com/event/134/abstracts/) is now open until
+
+**Wednesday, July 16, 11:59pm IST (18:29 UTC)**
+
