FORT MYERS, FL, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The AlmaLinux OS Foundation, a nonprofit that stewards the community-owned and governed open source enterprise Linux distribution AlmaLinux OS, today announced that chair benny Vasquez is set to speak at The South Tyrol Free Software Conference (SFSCON), one of Europe’s most established annual conferences on Free Software, taking place November 13–14 at the NOI Techpark in Bolzano, Italy.
At 9:20 a.m. on Saturday, November 14, Vasquez will present a talk titled, “Your Code of Conduct Is Killing Your Community (And What to Build Instead).” Drawing on five years of leading the AlmaLinux OS Foundation and two decades in open source communities, she will examine why Codes of Conduct often fall short in practice, how unclear enforcement processes and bad actors can undermine community trust, and what it takes to make these policies meaningful. The session will highlight the importance of distributed authority, documented processes, transparent decisions and organizational accountability in building stronger open source communities.
