Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters (COSCUP) is an annual conference held by Taiwanese Open Source community since 2006. It’s a major force of Free software movement advocacy in Taiwan. The event is often held over two days, with talks, sponsor and community booths, and Birds of a Feather (computing). The chief organizer, staffs, and speakers are all volunteers.
