FrOSCon 2010 Call for Papers and Projects
Central themes of the conference are collaboration, hardware and alternative databases ("NoSQL").
Social, hands-on, alternative: for FrOSCon on August 21-22, 2010 in St. Augustin near Bonn, Germany, calls for speakers and project displays are being made immediately.
Solicitations at the Free and Open Source Software Conference (FrOSCon) are for open source themes such as operating systems, development, administration, security, legal issues, desktop and education. However, calls for speakers and contributors on the central themes of NoSQL, tinkering and collaboration get priority.
Projects who want to display at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in St. Augustin can register now. The conference organizers expect about a thousand visitors. Apart from FrOSCon e.V., the university's computer science department is also responsible for organizing FroSCon, "Germany's summer conference for users and developers of Linux and open source software."
Speakers can apply until May 23, 2010. The program committee is looking for detailed descriptions of proposed talks (in German or English) of up to 45 minutes and will deliberate until June 7 on the eventual program. Developer communities, user groups and other open source projects can register until June 1. Projects can organize their own meetings or tracks within FrOSCon. Inquiries can be directed to program@froscon.org.
