Our community’s well-being is extremely important to us, and creating a safe, worry-free event is our top priority. We will adjust our health and safety protocols as needed while updating this page with information about plans for our attendees onsite. We continue to look to local municipality guidelines to make the best and most informed decisions around onsite safety and requirements. All in-person attendance requirements are subject to change based on local guidelines.

Food Allergies

The Linux Foundation believes it’s essential to prioritize the safety and well-being of all attendees, including those with food allergies.

• We aim to provide a variety of choices to cater to various needs such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and peanut-free.
• All food items will be clearly labeled at the event, indicating the ingredients used and any potential allergens present.

If you have a food allergy we need to be aware of, please email us at events@cncf.io.

Attendee safety is our top priority. Always exercise common sense and good judgment when traveling.
