<br />
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.<br />
<br />
== General Information ==<br />

During the [[FOSS4G 2017]] conference in Boston, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== How to organize a BOF ===<br />
<br />
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in: BoF rooms, BoF lounge or taken off-site for breakfast, lunch or dinner!<br />
<br />
While FOSS4G is provide space, but the setting up a bird-of-feather meetup is done informally using this wiki, twitter, or on site BoF board.<br />
<br />
=== Capacities ===<br />
<br />
The BoF sessions rooms are available through regular session times.<br />
<br />
* Theater Room 1 - setup theater style (without AV)<br />
* Theater Room 2 - setup theater style (without AV)<br />
* Lounge - there is a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups.<br />
<br />
We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.<br />
