Ack. > Anybody knows about similar event in Europe? Yep, there are quite a lot conferences and meetings around Open Source Software in Europe. Those are the next ones I know, although perhaps not the same taste as OSCON (which I haven't experienced yet :-)... + LinuxTag: Jun 6-9, 2002, Karlsruhe, half fair, half conference (http://www.linuxtag.org/2002/), the favourite Linux event of most Linuxers in Europe. Interesting talks, interesting people. + International Linux System Technology Conference: Sep, 4-6, 2002, Cologne (http://www.linux-kongress.org/2002/) + YAPC::Europe: Yet Another PERL Conference Europe, Sep 18-20, 2002, Munich (http://www.yapc.org/Europe/2002/) + LinuxWorld Conference & Expo: Oct, 29-31, 2002, Frankfurt/Main, more business orientated (http://www.linuxworldexpo.de/) + German PERL Workshop: Mar, 5-7, 2003, Bonn (http://www.perlworkshop.de/2003/) There are other OS Conferences, of which I don't know the date or which have already been: + ApacheCon Europe: Next date unknown, last fell through because of lacking sponsors IIRC (http://apachecon.com/) + Annual Open Source Content Management Systems Conference (OSCMSC): Last one was at Z�rich (http://www.oscom.org/conferences/zurich2002/), next one unfortunately will be in San Francisco, the second-next will probably be held in Japan. + Linux-Expo: OK, this is definitely more fair and exhibition than conference, it's every few months somewhere else, mainly in Europe (http://www.linux-expo.com/), not really my world. > BTW We could organize a little Embperl users meeting here in > Prague...
