OSS Gate Pass 2026 - OSS Gate 10th Anniversary Offline Conference

OSS Gate launched in December 2015 and turns ten in December 2025. To mark the anniversary the community is holding its first in-person conference, OSS Gate Pass, at CASE Shinjuku in Tokyo. The event looks back on a decade of workshops and onboarding sessions aimed at growing the population of people who keep contributing to OSS. The program centers on short ten-minute talks from past participants, sharing what stuck with them, what helped, and what they noticed along the way. First-time speakers are explicitly welcomed. Talk proposals go through a GitHub issue on a first-come basis, and speakers traveling from outside Tokyo can have travel and lodging covered. Sponsorships are open at bronze (10,000 yen), silver (50,000 yen), and gold (100,000 yen) tiers, plus negotiable options. Funds go toward speaker travel from outside Tokyo and the after-party. ClearCode, Inc. handles sponsor inquiries through its contact form.
