-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FrOSCon 2006 - Call for {Papers|Projects} Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:39:08 +0100 From: Sebastian Bergmann <sebastian.bergmann # froscon.de> Organization: Free and Open Source Software Conference - Bonn/Rhein-Sieg, Germany

FrOSCon is a two-day conference on free software and open source, which takes place on 24th and 25th June 2006 at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, in St. Augustin near Bonn, Germany.

Focus of the conference is a comprehensive range of talks about current topics in free software and open source. Furthermore, space will be provided for developers of free software and open source projects to organize their own developer meetings or even their own program.

FrOSCon is organized for the first time in 2006 by the department of computer science in collaboration with the Linux/Unix User Group Sankt Augustin, the student body and the FrOSCon e.V., and aims to establish itself as the largest event of its kind in Rhineland.

=== Projects ===

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.

=== Developer Rooms ===

Open source and free software projects are often coordinated primarily via the internet, 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 distant 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.

=== Application ===

Please send applications for a developer room via email to projects at 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.

The Call for Projects ends on March 31st.

=== Call for Papers ===

Please note that our Call for Papers is still open until March 15th. Don't miss the chance to submit a talk.

You can find all the details about the Call for Papers here:

=== Booth Space ===

If your project wants to man a booth at FrOSCon, feel free to contact projects at froscon.org as well.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, The FrOSCon Team
