The OSADL Networking Day 2020 was initially scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 as a one-day conference in person in Heidelberg/Germany. Unfortunately, due to the cirumstances caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this is no longer possible. So it was decided to transform the OSADL Networking Day into a virtual OSADL Networking Week which will take place from Monday, June 22 to Thursday, June 25, 2020 with live video stream sessions alternately in the morning and afternoon, each session including a subsequent discussion via video conference. The topic of the OSADL Networking Week 2020 will be "Open Source Policy: What is it and who needs it?" We hereby would like to cordially invite all OSADL regular, associate and academic members to participate at this virtual event.
