2026 Events Calendar

We’re pleased to share that planning is underway for a regional FreeBSD Hackathon in Wiesbaden this April. The event is designed to bring together local community members, but participation is open to anyone interested in contributing to FreeBSD. The goal is to collaborate, connect, and make meaningful progress on FreeBSD in a focused and supportive environment.

The summit features a wide range of tracks covering Linux, cloud and containers, AI, security, embedded systems, and more. Attendees can expect keynote sessions, technical talks, and opportunities to connect with the broader open-source community. Deb Goodkin, Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation, will be speaking at the conference.

Co-located with BSDCan 2026, the two-day event consists of developer discussion sessions, vendor talks, and working groups.

BSDCan is a technical conference for people working on and with BSD operating systems and related projects. It is a developer’s conference with a strong focus on emerging technologies, research projects, and works in progress. It also features Userland infrastructure projects and invites contributions from both free software developers and those from commercial vendors.
