[arch-events] FrOSCon 2012 Newsletter #1

I am forwarding this email:

G'morrow, FrOSCon friends,

for the seventh time, the FrOSCon organisational crew invites you to
the
Free and Open Source Software Conference, taking place on 25th and 26th
of August at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. We are proud to be able to
happily announce another year of exciting talks, projects and workshops
while, of course, keeping an eye on providing you with a lot of fun
during the weekend as well.

Despite of being a bit late this year, preparations for the conference
are running at full power. Getting together on many occasions,
including
a coming up weekend at the Linuxhotel in Essen [1], a heavily grown
team
of well-known and newly motivated volunteers is working hard to create
everything that makes out a fruitful conference.

As we put high efforts in all things organisational, as a matter of
fact
the success of the conference depends highly on you when it comes to
presentations of projects, talks and workshops. Thus, let's introduce
you to the upcoming calls for papers and projects [2]!

This year, especially the kids track (also referred to as FrogLabs) is
undergoing a heavy re-design, now allowing young minds to present their
projects and ideas to other "hackers" their age [3].

FrOSCon e.V., being a non-profit organisation, depends on your
donations. Should you or your company be able to support us, maybe by
means of opting for a sponsoring package, that would be highly
welcomed.
You are invited to direct all questions and offers regarding this to
sponsoren at froscon.de.

We are looking forward to meeting everyone who visited us throughout
the
last years and of course also many new visitors!

Nik, for the whole of the FrOSCon organisational crew
