OFE EU Open Source Policy Summit 2025 will take place in Brussels on 30-31 January 2025. This is the 11th edition, and will be the first over two days. LibreOffice competitors such as OnlyOffice have sponsored the past edition.

The event is attended by most of the open source foundations and companies active in Europe, and by a growing number of politicians and public officers at the EU level. It is a good networking opportunity, to reaffirm TDF’s interest in being an active member of the European open source community, and involved in policy related issues.

Although we have always attended for free the event, and we might be able to do the same in 2025, I suggest to sponsor at Bronze Sponsorhip lowest level, for an amount of € 2,160 + VAT as early bird, to be confirmed by 31 July 2024.

The vote to approve the Bronze Sponsorship for the OFE EU Open Source Policy Summit 2025, for an amount of € 2,160 + VAT runs for 72 hours from now, so until Wednesday 18 July at 9:50PM.

The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders (not including deputies). In order to be quorate, the vote needs to have 1/2 or more of the Board of Directors members, which gives 4.

A total of 6 Board of Directors members have participated in the vote.

The vote is quorate.

Result of vote:
6 approvals: Osvaldo, Eliane, Italo, Sophie, Simon, Laszlo; deputy Paolo supports the motion as well
0 abstain
0 disapprovals

Decision: The proposal has been accepted.

Florian
