Welcome to FOSS United’s July newsletter! We are 4 days late with this edition, had it gone out as planned, we would have punned our way into a 4th of July reference. But because it is more like 8th of July, here’s a totally scientific and fun AI Alignment personality quiz. Take it and tell us where you land!

The Times of IndiaFOSS

With IndiaFOSS 2026 merely 80 days away, the preparations are proceeding with the usual mix of a dozen spreadsheets, Telegram threads and spamming of the sponsors. With over 480 CFP apps, we are equal parts excited and deeply aware that someone actually has to read them all.

Tickets are live!

I repeat, tickets are live and selling like hotcakes. Almost out of Enthusiast tickets. Stop living dangerously and get yours soon!

Looking for Diversity sponsors

Help us make IndiaFOSS more accessible and inclusive! Because year after year, some of the best people at IndiaFOSS are the ones who almost didn’t make it. Let’s chat.
IndiaFOSS Parallel 👀

The main conference is just two days, but the city is yours for the whole week! We are calling on local communities to join us in hosting parallel events across the city! Think workshops, walks, potlucks, karaoke if someone’s brave enough. Make IndiaFOSS yours.
FOSS Awards are here

Last week to send in your nominations! We have six categories and we welcome self-nominations in case you really really wouldn’t want to be left behind with the asteroid.
