Chemnitz Linux Days 2026 — Conference

Chemnitz Linux Days  is a major annual open-source and Linux-focused community conference held in Germany that celebrates free and open source software, collaborative innovation, and digital sovereignty. The event brings together Linux users, developers, open-source enthusiasts, educators, companies, and project contributors for a weekend of talks, workshops, hands-on sessions, project booths, and networking opportunities across a wide range of topics related to open technologies.
