- Diversity Registration Scholarships
- Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be from a traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in the technology and/or open source communities who are unable to attend without some financial assistance. including, but not limited to: persons identifying as LGBTQIA+, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities.
- Need-based Registration Scholarships
- Eligibility Requirements: Individuals who apply should be active members of the open source community who are unable to attend for financial reasons and are unable to get funding from their companies.
