BoF (Birds of a Feather) Sessions

Discuss Drupal and other technology-related topics, gather together based on affinity, or meet fellow attendees with similar identities through informal birds of a feather (BoF) groups! BoFs don't need to be about the community or even Drupal, they may also be held to discuss coffee or knitting patterns. Have fun and learn! BoFs exist to provide attendees with an inclusive, informal environment in which to share ideas freely. BoFs can be serious, and a great way to gather the people you’ve been working with remotely on a project in a space to deep dive on a topic, but they can also be fun as well.

BoFs are for discussion rather than formal presentations or sales pitches and must follow the DrupalCon Code of Conduct. As with the in-person conference, virtual BoFs are accessible to all, however attendees must respect boundaries communicated in the BoF title and description. (e.g. If you do not identify as a member of the LGBT community, please don’t join an LGBT BoF unless the title or description specifically mentions that allies are welcome.) We reserve the right to remove BoFs which violate the Code of conduct, appear offensive, presentation-driven, or sales-focused.

BoFs will take place within the DrupalCon Europe conference platform, OnAir, alongside other programming. Each BoF will be given its own individual session space, which attendees can join and leave throughout the BoF’s scheduled time. BoF attendees can contribute to the discussion via text chat and as well as by sharing their webcam and audio. Up to 300 attendees can share their webcam and audio at a time within each BoF session. Up to 50 may be visible on the screen at once.

Registrants who add BoFs are volunteering to act as a BoF facilitator. BoF facilitators should join the event and share their webcam/audio promptly at start time, welcome attendees, encourage participation, and help guide the conversation.

Check out the conference schedule before making an addition to ensure new BoFs don’t compete with similar topics happening at the same time.
