Several Free or Open Source Software projects have decided to hold a
meeting during FOSDEM. It is a great occasion to meet core developers
in the following developers' rooms: Ada, Calibre, GNU Classpath,
Debian, Embedded softwares, Gentoo, GNOME, GNUStep, Jabber, KDE,
Linux on Laptops, Mozilla, Opengroupware, openSUSE, Tcl/Tk, X.org.
All those rooms have an internal schedule, including
talks and presentations from lead developers.
Don't miss other FOSDEM initiatives like the Key
Signing Party, or the LPI exams.
FOSDEM's goal is to provide Free Software and Open Source developers
and communities the opportunity to learn and discuss the latest
developments in the Free and Open Source arena and to promote the
development and the benefits of Free and Open Source solutions.
The speakers mainly talk about technologies and make technical
speeches.
The event is totally free.
This is a non-commercial event organised by people from the
community. So we would like to thank our sponsors who have understood
this and helped us making FOSDEM possible to happen this year again
in the same spirit. Those include: O'Reilly, Google, Argon7, Canonical,
ESCAUX, GNU/Linux Magazine France, Linux Magazine, Misc, Nokia, Novell,
SUN Microsystems, Think Wize, Freshmeat.net, Linux Magazin,
Sourceforge.net and all of our donators without who organizing such an
event wouldn't be possible.
We encourage you to support FOSDEM if you appreciate the event and
want it to continue in the same spirit. More information about the
FOSDEM 2006 support operation at:

We hope to see you there.
