FrOSCon is a two day conference on Free Software and Open Source, taking place on June, 24/25 2006 at the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin near the cities of Bonn and Cologne.
The conference revolves around a rich schedule of talks, highlighting current topics in Free Software and Open Source. Moreover, developers will be offered a large Free Software / Open Source space, allowing them to organize their own meetings or even their own lineup of events.
Successful projects form the backbone of the open source and free software movements. FrOSCon wants to acknowledge this important role of projects for the community by offering special facilities to individual projects.
Open Source and Free Software projects are often coordinated primarily via email, the web, and IRC. Nonetheless, personal contact between members of the project is of paramount importance. A conference like FrOSCon can serve as a meeting place, where geographically separated members of the project can come together and meet.
FrOSCon wants to offer dedicated developer rooms to individual projects, which are organized by the projects themselves. Thereby, we provide a space for projects to hold special-interest talks or meetings, to congregate, exchange views and to socialize.
We have rooms in different sizes suitable for small developer meetings up to sub-conferences. We offer Internet access in all developer rooms. Besides tables and chairs, most rooms are or can be equipped with a video beamer. If necessary, an additional lecture hall can be assigned for talks or presentations where a larger audience is expected.
Please send applications for a developer room via email to projects@froscon.org. Please include at least the name of your project, the URL of your website and the expected number of participants in your email.
