11th FOSSCOMM meeting. |

|

FOSSCOMM (Free and Open Source Software Communities Meeting) is the |
| 7 |
pan-Hellenic conference of free and open source software communities. It |
| 8 |
is addressed at programmers, students and anyone else interested in the |
| 9 |
open source movement, despite their background. Participating |
| 10 |
communities include the Hellenic Linux User Group (HELLUG), contributors |
| 11 |
of open source projects such as Mozilla, Fedora, OpenSuse, KDE and more. |
| 12 |
The content of the conference includes a wide variety of topics ranging |
| 13 |
from technical issues and workshops to translations, legal issues, |
| 14 |
political issues concerning opensource software and hardware. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The event is usually attended by a few hundreds of people, with the |
| 17 |
largest number having been recorded in Patras in 2011 with about 450 |
| 18 |
participants. It is held on an annual basis since 2008 and till today it |
| 19 |
has been organized in 6 different cities. This year we are expecting |
| 20 |
approximately 400 participants. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In preparation for this event, we are asking for your support in |
| 23 |
donating items (swags) like t-shirts, stickers, banners, usb-sticks, |
| 24 |
CDs/DVDs that will be given for free to the participants. Swags are |
| 25 |
loved by all, and they are a great way to market your |
| 26 |
organization or your project. Please note that everything is organized |
| 27 |
and set up by volunteers and financing comes from sponsorships and |
| 28 |
donations. |
