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.

Call for help - A note from our chairman
I have been part of the core team of T-DOSE for a good few years now, and have even been bumped up to chairman of the T-DOSE foundation. And I have to say that I really like putting time and effort into keeping our event alive and helping it grow over the years. The enthusiasm of the core team is infectious, and we have gotten very experienced in organising this event.
However, in the years since COVID-19 we have lost a few core organisers, and this is affecting the workload of the remaining team. Some tasks are harder to get done, and I fear future editions of T-DOSE may suffer from that. We are particularly short-handed in the area of money-related tasks, such as fund raising and managing the foundation's finances.
So, if you think that organising an open source conference is worth a few evenings a month of your time, please let us know. We are particularly looking for a new treasurer for our foundation and for someone who is good at finding and communicating with prospective sponsors, but extra hands in other areas are also very welcome.
If you want to help, but feel that you lack the time to help us organise T-DOSE throughout the year, or prefer a more hands-on role during the event, we are also looking to increase our pool of volunteers for the actual weekend. So don't hesitate to let us know if you're available!
Join us for a chance to get that warm feeling of seeing your efforts lead to yet another great event!
Hope to see you soon,
Peter van Ginneken
Chairman of the T-DOSE foundation
