Editing FOSSY (2024) (section)

== What kind of research are you looking to have presented? ==

We are interested in any topic related to FOSS communities! This might include research from computing (including software engineering, computer security, social computing, HCI), the social sciences and humanities (including management, philosophy, law, economics, sociology, communication, and more), information sciences, and beyond.

For example: how to identify under-maintained FOSS packages and what to do about it; community growth and how to find success in small communities; effective rule making and enforcement in online communities. 

If it involves FOSS or is of interest to FOSS practitioners, we welcome it! We are eager to help you put your results into the hands of practitioners who can use your findings to inform their own community's practices and policies on social, governance, and technical topics. 

We hope to welcome scholars and researchers from across academia, government, industry, or wherever else you are from!
