Thank you for your interest in speaking at our community events! Our goal is to host a free monthly meetup for members, usually in-person at a sponsor's office or other location in the northern Virginia vicinity - that's primarily Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William counties. We do some times host events online or hybrid.  We often co-host with the Cloud Native DC community group as well. In total, we reach about 3,000 members each month.

We are looking for speakers interested in sharing their knowledge and expertise on.....

  • Any of the 1200+ projects in the CNCF Landscape
  • Free and open-source software development in general
  • Tips, tricks and inspiration for creating or maintaining an open source project
  • Any topic close to your heart in the Free and Open Source Software community

We're pretty flexible on topic, format, speakers, etc. but by policy, we will automatically reject any proposal that is an obvious product or company pitch.  For that, you're welcome to inquire separately about sponsoring our group.

Dates for future events are placeholders.  We try to hit a Tuesday evening mid-month, but we can accommodate a change in date at your convenience if you're selected.

We look forward to reading your proposal!
