Upcoming European Conferences this Fall

The next couple of weeks, months, promise to be really busy if you are interested in European Open Source conferences ...

First up is FrOSCon - a two day conference on Free Software and Open Source, taking place for the third time on August, 23rd/24th 2008 at the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin near the cities of Bonn and Cologne. The conference revolves around a rich schedule of talks, highlighting current topics in Free Software and Open Source. Moreover, developers will be offered a large Free Software / Open Source space, allowing them to organize their own meetings or even their own lineup of events.

Then it's time for DrupalCon Szeged - with Keynotes from Rasmus and Dries, this event in Hungary  promises to be yet another interesting Drupal Conference. DrupalCon is the twice-yearly gathering of Drupalers to learn about, discuss and advance Drupal, and to network with other Drupal community members. By tradition, Drupalcon is in North America in the first half of the year and in Europe in the second.

If you are interested in monitoring systems then you'll surely be interested in the NetWays Nagios Conference taking place in Nuremberg  on 11th and 12th September, with Ethan Galstad, the creator of Nagios himself, giving a keynote.

Up next is the OpenExpo in Zurich with speakers like Harald Welte, Bruce Perens, Tristant Nitot, and others. The place to be is the Eulachhallen in Winterthur on 24th and 25th September.

The week later the crowd heads to Copenhagen for the Open Source Days. This is a 2-day community-driven open source conference. It's your opportunity to meet, share, experience and learn from open source gurus as well as the common geek. It's a great chance to gain inspiration, but also to reflect and evaluate how open source might improve your business and technical side of your life.

The OpenSource Days conference runs on October 3rd and 4th at the IT University of Copenhagen.

One week later LinuxConf.eu heads back to Germany in the form of the 15th LinuxKongress from 7th to 10th October at the University of Hamburg.

No schedule yet there, but as LinuxKongress is still one of the 3 most important Linux Conferences worldwide, it promises to be interesting.

The end of October means it's time for T-DOSE again. T-DOSE is a free and yearly event held in The Netherlands to promote use and development of Open Source Software. During this event Open Source projects, developers and visitors can exchange ideas and knowledge. This year's event will be held on 25 thand 26th October 2008 at the Fontys University of Applied Science in Eindhoven.

We are almost at the end of our list with the NLUUG  Autumn Conference which will be held November 6th 2008 in De Reehorst in Ede, the Netherlands. With the market for mobile applications being predicted to be several times as large as the market for traditional computer this year's topic is Mobility.

Concurrently held on the 6th and 7th the Embedded Linux Conference Europe  will be held in the same location, organized by the CE Linux Forum.

Last on our list is the UKUUG's Linux 2008 Conference held on Friday 7th (tutorials), Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th November Conference at the The Manchester Conference Centre.
