<p>This was another long year of online conferences. While the traveling was
easier (by not doing it), we miss the face to face relationship building
that we've come to expect from our big
conference gatherings. We can't wait to get back to a sense of normalcy and
at least have a little less latency between us.</p>
<p>Karen, our executive director, gave two keynotes this year, one at the <a href="/news/2021/mar/23/karen-lailec-2021/">Leuven AI Law & Ethics Conference</a> and another at <a href="https://conf.linuxappsummit.org/event/3/contributions/71/">Linux App Summit</a>. Karen also spoke with Marina Zhurakhinskaya at <cite>All Things Open</cite> about the 10+ year history of Outreachy. Karen was also an invited speaker at <a href="https://heales.org/2021/05/28/conference-big-data-a-i-and-healthy-longevity-how-to-progress-faster-and-better-for-all-scientists-thursday-september-9-2021/">Big Data, A.I. and Healthy Longevity: How to progress faster and better for all scientists</a>.</p>
<p>Karen and Bradley were also co-organizers (with others) of the Legal &
Policy Devroom at FOSDEM, where they also moderated panels and spoke. Sage
Sharp spoke at the <a href="https://chanzuckerberg.com/eoss/">Chan
Zuckerberg Essential Open Source</a> event. Daniel Pono Takamori gave a talk about <cite><a href="http://pdxlinux.org/2021-07-01-FreeSoftware-LegacyOfCommunication.pdf">How Free Software Continues the Legacy of Open Communication</a></cite> to the Portland Linux/ Unix Group.</p>

<p>We were also a sponsor of the
fantastic <a href="https://seagl.org/">SeaGL</a> event. A community focused
conference that does an incredible job giving opportunities to first-time
speakers (suitable for community members of all walks of life). They hosted
their conference on the Matrix platform, which further proved it's possible
to run a virtual conference with free software.</p>
