The Mifos Initiative

Update Mifos Events/Conferences Calendar for Open Source or HFOSS Events

Mifos sits at the crossroads of a number of different industries – financial inclusion and microfinance, financial cooperatives, credit unions, fintech, mobile banking, financial services, cloud computing, open source technology, electronic money, digital financial services, HFOSS (Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software). We attend events regularly to promote our mission, educate about our technology and identify new volunteers, customers, donors, and partners.

Having a comprehensive and up-to-date calendar is important for our staff to plan out what events to attend as well as to inform our community. Internally, we track these events via a Google Sheet and also publicize the ones relevant to the community on our public community calendar.

This task would involve updating our current calendar with the dates/times for events that we’ve followed or participated in during the past as well as researching and adding new events to our calendar.

This task centers specifically on events related to Open Source/HFOSS: General open source conferences or conferences focused on HFOSS - good way for us to recruit volunteers and promote our project. Examples: OSCON, OS Thinktank, OS Bridge, ApacheCon, Linux Foundation OS Summit, LinuxFestNorthWest
