Request Details
Hi,

I'm Miki, from Schrödinger Hat, a nonprofit on a mission to create an open, inclusive, and sustainable world powered by open-source knowledge.

Let me do a brief of what we're doing:

over the years, we’ve brought together an incredible community with over 20 meet ups and 3 conferences, attended by 400+ participants and viewed online by over 1000 people. Such is the power of open source communities!


On March 21st, 2025, we’ll be hosting Open Source Day 2025 at Nana Bianca in Florence, and we’d love to have you as a sponsor for our biggest event yet.


Known as the top conference in open source in Italy, this event brings together diverse voices from every corner of tech and beyond, showing what we can achieve through shared knowledge and creativity.

All our events are free, reflecting our belief that information should be accessible to everyone.

As a nonprofit, we rely on sponsorships to keep this vision alive. By supporting Open Source Day 2025, you’ll help us reach and inspire a broader audience of innovators and creators, empowering them to make a difference.

You can explore more about sponsorship opportunities on our website for the event:

However we're accepting any kind of support, starting from donations.
Hope to meet you soon virtually or in-person.
