Conference Schedule Published
The full conference schedule for the 2025 T-DOSE edition on 31 May and 1 June has now been published. We are happy to announce that we have found many interesting speakers willing to present for this conference edition.
There will be two tracks on both Saturday and Sunday, spanning a wide range of technical and community concepts. Have a look and join in to learn about many interesting open source topics.
Also check out the project stands that were announced earlier. We have more projects presenting themselves this year than in previous editions; late additions include the Crypto Museum and Turtle Stitch.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Weeffabriek on 31 May and 1 June!
Social Event
The main part of any conference is of course the social aspect! A well established T-DOSE tradition is to have a dinner and a couple of drinks with speakers, volunteers and visitors to end the first conference day. Our social event will start at 6pm on Saturday evening. This is a great way to interact informally with all our speakers and whoever else you meet at T-DOSE. Discuss your experiences of the day and all the presentation that are still coming on the next day. Everybody is welcome.
Register now to be a part of this!
In order to prepare for this event, we need a good estimate on how many people will join is. That is why registration is open as of today. If you are interested in a nice dinner with like-minded people, then please let us know via email to socialevent @ t-dose.org. Because we need to book in advance, there will only be a very limited amount of extra slots available for sale on the day itself. Yes, really limited. Register in advance to guarantee your place at the table. Do not wait to register on the day itself - you might get disappointed.
Social event tickets cost 35 euro. You can pay during the event itself, at the T-DOSE info stand on Saturday. The social event is only open to people who have registered and paid before the event starts. Attendees of the social event will gather in the main hall of the T-DOSE event location. Don't be late, the doors will close at 6pm for the start of the social event. The entrance fee must be paid before that time at the T-DOSE info stand. If you have special dinner wishes, such as vegetarian food, please specify this in your email.

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, T-DOSE will be held on 31 May and 1 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 2025. Submit your registration via our registration webinterface 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.
