Thanks for the feedback Louis. In the past, I believe main track speakers were offered help with lodging? Will that be the case again for 2026 and is this something we can mention? In case some of the speakers are not able to get their travels paid for by their employers, this would be a great bonus...

I'd like to propose Shannon Dosemagen, a Senior Fellow at the Open
Environmental Data Project. She is also on the board of the Open Science Hardware Foundation and was a co-founder of Public Lab. Her passion for climate and environmental movement is inspiring, and what makes her work especially impressive is how she weaves together open source hardware, software, and community collaboration.
She's also a good speaker as you can see from her TEDxCERN talk in 2016.
There is much the open source software world can learn from other open collaboration communities—including citizen science, data, design, and hardware. Shannon would be a great speaker to highlight these connections.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ray
