The aim of the program is to increase the accessibility of this conference

      - Women and minority genders
      - Community development workers or students who don’t have workplace
      or government funding
   - People who have “skin in the game”:
      - People who will make use of what they learn to make a positive
      impact to themselves and their communities.
      - People who contribute to open communities, such as contributing to
      OpenStreetMap, or open source software.
      - People willing to volunteer or present a talk at the conference.
