FrOSCon is a two-day conference on Free Software and Open Source. It takes place on August 20th/21st, 2016 at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, in St. Augustin near Bonn, Germany. The main part of the conference is a comprehensive range of talks and workshops. Furthermore, there is a large exhibition area, where projects have the opportunity to present themselves and get in touch with users and developers. Moreover, we offer a few rooms for Free Software projects to organize developer meetings or to present their own program for the visitors of the conference. We would be pleased if your project would like to contribute to this year's FrOSCon and thus support the communication and exchange within the Open Source and Free Software community. Depending on the kind of your participation, there is different information available to you. # Booth # To sign up for a booth, please visit https://callforprojects.froscon.de and register your project. Please feel free to contact us for any questions at [email protected]. The registration for booths will be open until May 23rd. # Developer Room # If your project wants to sign up for a developer room, please visit https://callforprojects.froscon.de, register your project and submit a proposal. The proposal should contain a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) of what you plan to do and special requirements. Since the demand for developer rooms usually exceeds the number of rooms we can offer, we will choose the projects which look the most promising to us based on the submitted proposals.

The deadline for the submission of developer room proposals is also May 23rd. # Talk or Workshop # Additionally our Call for Papers has started.
