The software provides a web‑based platform for planning and running conferences that focus on Free and Open Source Software. It offers a public splash page to announce the event, a schedule view that lists sessions, and detailed pages for each session. Organizers can open a call for papers, collect proposals, classify and rate them, and then place accepted talks into the program.

Attendees can register through the system, with optional ticket sales, and the platform tracks visitor information for administrative use. An administrator dashboard aggregates data on submissions, registrations, and program composition, supporting event monitoring and reporting.

The project is self‑hostable, released under the MIT license, and maintained as a stable, open‑source codebase without subscription or tiered pricing. Contributions are handled through GitHub issues and a public IRC channel, encouraging community involvement.
