Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters (COSCUP) is an annual conference held by Taiwanese Open Source community since 2006. It’s a major force of Free software movement advocacy in Taiwan. The event is often held over two days, with talks, sponsor and community booths, and Birds of a Feather (computing). The chief organizer, staffs, and speakers are all volunteers.

We aim to provide a platform for connecting Open Source coders, users, and promoters, and to promote FLOSS with this annual conference. We are interested in best practices in open source, community management, and anything dealing with open-source related areas.
