Thanks! - o - The CfP in English: OpenExpo, the Swiss conference and trade show for Free and Open Source Software, takes place for the 5th time Wednesday and Thursday September 24 and 25, 2008 at the Eulachhallen in Winterthur/Zürich. As a community meeting point and industrial exhibition OpenExpo has become THE date in Switzerland's Open Source agenda. /ch/open and the business IT trade show topsoft are inviting to submit speeches, project presentations and company stands, all to be proposed until Tuesday May 20, 2008. The final schedule will be published in June 2008. After the fourth OpenExpo was a great success in terms of visitor numbers and focus on government issues, the fall edition 2008 will concentrate on innovation and production processes in leading Open Source projects - for example with Hackontest, the new 24 hour programming competition to be introduced at OpenExpo as a premiere.

Rückblick OpenExpo 2008 Bern * Die OpenExpo entspricht offensichtlich einem Bedürfnis: über 1200 Personen haben im März 2008 in Bern die 54 Aussteller und 51 Fachreferate der bereits zum vierten Mal durchgeführten Veranstaltung besucht. Das sind mehr als doppelt so viele wie noch ein halbes Jahr zuvor in Zürich. Aufgrund der vielen positiven Echos in IT-Publikationen, Blogs und Mailing Listen kann von einer hohen Zufriedenheit sowohl der Aussteller und Referenten als auch von den Besuchern ausgegangen werden. Folien der Vorträge, einige Ton und Video-Aufzeichnungen sowie Fotos und Reaktionen sind auf der OpenExpo Website zu finden: http://www.openexpo.ch/openexpo-2008-bern 2.

Hi Jeremias, 2008/4/18 Jeremias Maerki [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Matthias Stürmer, one of the organizers, has mentioned to me that they would be interested in having an Apache Track. In the last issue we were three people from three different Apache projects FYI I have submitted two talks for openexpo.ch, one along the lines of my ApacheCon EU talk [1], and another one on Sling basics. I also told Matthias that this might be material for an Apache track (I know him back from the http://lots.openexpo.ch days). -Bertrand [1] http://www.slideshare.net/bdelacretaz/open-source-tools-are-good-for-you/

This event seems to be related to the swiss one. I think the ASF should represent there, too! (And if the organizers are hard/sym-linked with each other, we can test run for Winterthur (very nice city!). My intention was to submit a talk about the ASF in general there. BTW, what about an ASF booth at both events? The ASF should be more visible at events like these! This is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing, right?
