First pressrelease in english:
Fedora Users Gather together in switzerland
The Fedora Project, a Red Hat sponsored and community-supported open
source collaboration project, announced these days that the Fedora Project
will host the Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) between
September 17-19, 2010 at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland.
FUDCon EMEA is the annual Fedora Users & Developers Conference for Europe,
the Middle East and Africa and features talks, hacking and barcamp
sessions related to anything in the Fedora ecosystem of end users,
contributors, upstream, downstream, etc.
Also at the same place at nearly the same time (September 17-18) the
FrOSCamp 2010 Zurich take place.
FrOSCamp is an annual multilingual two-day event that evolves around an
exhibition, talks, workshops and hackfests in the world of free and open
source as well as creative contents, also including open standards/systems
and digital sustainability.
Both events focuses on free and open source software and related topics.
We therefore encourage the participants of FrOSCamp and FUDCon to mix up,
work together, discuss, exchange and whatever else might help to have a
productive time together. Fedora is a major Linux distribution and
FrOSCamp will feature many of their upstream projects and also some
“competitors”, other Linux distributions and UNIX derivatives - it’s
always good to sit together and speak about issues or chances!
The shared event location and also the shared spirit makes it even easier
to work together and will allow a single agenda featuring the talks of
both events so the audience of both events can fully profit. Of course
there’ll be Fedora-dedicated rooms and rooms for all the projects
participating at FrOSCamp but there’ll only be one shared keynote room.
One Highlight will be on Friday, 2010-09-17 there will be a party after
the first event day just next to the primary event location featuring free
(as in creative commons) music by live bands and delicious FreeBeer (again
as in creative commons). Need to chill a bit after a long event day? Get a
beer or two at the party! Need to get lose of some energy because you only
sat around all day listening to all those interesting talks? Move to the
party’s dancefloor!
On Saturday, 2010-09-18 there will be a party in the evening in the midst
of downtown Zurich and everyone participating in FUDCon is very welcome to
join us. There’ll be beer and some snacks and a great possibility to just
have some fun together before the last day of FUDCon begins.
More is to come - stay tuned by subscribing to the various mailing lists
and/or joining #FrOSCamp on Freenode or ath the Homepage to that Event at
the fedoraproject Wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Zurich_2010
