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.

Other important data

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.
