Hootenanny
Monday, November 3rd | Evening
Get ready to trade your code for a fiddle and your command line for a Virginia reel! The FOSS4G NA 2025 Gala is getting a delightful rustic makeover and is now the FOSS4G NA Hootenanny! Join us at the historic Barns at Wolf Trap for an unforgettable evening of fun, folk, and fantastic company.
Leave the formalities behind and embrace the casual, celebratory spirit of a true hootenanny. We're taking over two beautifully restored 18th-century barns to create the perfect backdrop for a night of lively conversation, delicious food, and maybe even a bit of square dancing (maybe?). It's a chance to connect with your fellow geospatial enthusiasts in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, surrounded by the warm, rustic charm of one of Virginia's most unique venues. Whether you're a seasoned FOSS4G veteran or a first-time attendee, the Hootenanny is your opportunity to unwind, celebrate our vibrant community, and create lasting memories. So, dust off your boots and get ready for a night of good times, great music, and even better company!
