Celebrating 20 years of T-DOSE
This year's edition of T-DOSE, which takes place on June 6th and 7th at the Weeffabriek in Geldrop, marks the 20 year anniversary of our event.
In 2006, the first edition of T-DOSE was held at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Our founders, Jeroen Baten and Jean-Paul Saman, wanted to create an Open Source event in the Dutch Brainport region, which is one of Europe's strongest technological hotspots. And although we've had some ups and downs, 20 years later, we're still going, still connecting the Open Source community, not only within the Netherlands but also beyond the borders.
So, we hope to welcome you at the Weeffabriek in June, for a great weekend filled with Open Source goodness, and of course to celebrate 20 years of T-DOSE with us!
Call for Participation
T-DOSE, the Technical Dutch Open Source Event, is a freely accessible conference, organised in the Eindhoven region since 2006. The event consists of a central track with presentations and a bazaar where Open Source projects can present themselves. This year, which marks 20 years since the first edition, T-DOSE will be held on 6 and 7 June at the Weeffabriek in Geldrop.
The T-DOSE organisation calls for proposals for talks. All presentations related to open source, open standards, open data or open hardware are welcome. Possible subjects for talks include specific software development projects, but also practical application of open source in schools/institutions or industry, open standards, community management, programming languages, open internet applications, legal aspects, historic developments, hackerspaces, etc. We also have some capacity for related workshops.
At the same time, we open registrations for participation in the bazaar, where stands will be available to open source projects and other related groups to present themselves to the public. The stands will be placed in a central information market area.
The deadline for presentation abstracts, workshops and project stand requests is 31 March 2026. Submit your registration via our registration page and make sure to select the appropriate track.
T-DOSE is completely organised by volunteers. More information about the foundation and the core team, as well as sponsoring opportunities can also be found on our website. For any questions regarding submissions, please use the contact form.

That's all folks
T-DOSE 2025 has come and gone. We're looking back on a great weekend with many interesting presentations. It was great to see a lot of new faces and meet new like-minded people, as well as catch up with old friends and many frequent visitors from previous editions. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success, including all speakers, project stand representatives, all volunteers, the staff at the Weeffabriek and, of course, everybody who participated!
Note that it is already possible to view back yesterday's live stream with all presentations in the Kleine Spoel. These will be edited and published individually later. A number of presenters have already uploaded their slides as well. You can find these from the talk descriptions - which are linked from the schedule overview.
As mentioned during the closing talk, T-DOSE will definitely be back next year. It will be 20 years since the first edition in 2006 at Eindhoven University of Technology. Next year, we will once again be at the Weeffabriek in Geldrop. Mark your calendars for 6 and 7 June 2026 — T-DOSE weekend! Hope to see you all again there and bring your friends.
