The full name of an event without abbreviations. For more information, please have a look at our help page.

Please select the day the event starts.
Please select the day the event ends. Can be the same as the start date in case of one-day events.
Markdown accepted. A concise description of the event from one sentence up to some paragraphs. Please do not write the description yourself! The text should be copied from the event's page and if possible be in English - if there is no English language version available you can copy & paste the description in the event's local language. See our help page for more information.

Name of the venue in that the event happens. This could be any kind from congress center to a university to a local space.
The Open Streetmap link that shows the venue of the event. Probably this is a unique identifier in OSM, if not you can simply use the link that corresponds to the location's lat and lon. You can find out this link by right-clicking any point on Open Streetmap and choose "show address". See our help page for more information.
The latitude of the location where the event happens. Latitude and Longitude of the event is important for // foss.events as we use this data to show the point on the OSM map on each individual event's side. You can find out lat and lon by right-clicking any point on Open Streetmap and choose "show address". See our help page for more information.
The longitude of the location where the event happens. Latitude and Longitude of the event is important for // foss.events as we use this data to show the point on the OSM map on each individual event's side. You can find out lat and lon by right-clicking any point on Open Streetmap and choose "show address". See our help page for more information.

Other important data

A url with the call for participation for speakers etc.
The deadline for the call for participation to apply in format year-month-day.
The Standard participation fee if you buy a standard ticket without discount, early bird, support ticket etc. Please put your value in Euro or an approximate value in Euro if you need to convert it from another currency.
A link to a registration form to buy a ticket in advance, if necessary.

























Please choose the default languages of the event. Be aware, that the default language means the main language of the talks given, not of the visitors. The main language is English, for example, in case all talks are in English although the visitors might also speak mainly another (local) language.
An URL that shows the code of conduct of the event.
Markdown accepted. Type in anything that is special about this event and not similar to other events. This should be something with organisational value and open for everyone attending. A "speakers dinner" before the event for example does not qualify as it is not open to everyone attending. A special guest or an important keynote does not qualify either as this is nothing of organisational importance but rather content. Specialties that could be mentioned are for example an award ceremony, a public pre- or afterparty, an open speaker's corner and similar things. See our help page for more information.
Person(s) or association(s) who are mainly organising the event. Can be multiple.
