[ROSCon 2024 Registration is now open!](http://discourse.ros.org/t/roscon-2024-registration-open-workshops-announced/38084) **This year we’ve doubled the number of ROSCon workshops, and we’re adding dedicated spaces for birds of a feather gatherings and community group meetings.** The city of Odense is going to be rolling out the red carpet for our visit, and there will a number of scheduled lab visits, walking tours, and mixers before and after ROSCon. We are recommending ROSCon attendees plan to arrive early and plan to stay for a few days after the conference.

The [Open Sauce](https://opensauce.com/) conference is happening in San Francisco next weekend. A bunch of robotics YouTubers will be speaking at the event. Myself and Phil Nelson, the developer advocate over at OpenCV, have put together an [open source at Open Sauce after party for next Friday](https://lu.ma/n1bvkz2k) at the new Studio 45 co-working space in SOMA. If you are in the area please come by, all are welcome, regardless if you are attending Open Sauce.
