Seventh Free Software Developer Conference

For 6 years, this traditional event has been loved by many. The backbone of annually coming listeners and speakers has formed, and new participants are pleasantly surprised at the dissimilarity of the event to other similar ones. The format of the conference does not imply mass participation, partly because of its specificity, usually the number of participants does not exceed 100 people. Such chamberness favors the creation of a democratic atmosphere, participants can talk to speakers without fuss, find like-minded people, and take part in general discussions.

The first six conferences were held in Obninsk, Kaluga Region, the seventh will be held in the cozy Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl Region, where you can comfortably get on the free buses from Moscow (metro VDNH) provided by the organizers, and leave at the end of the conference.

The conference program this time is designed for 2 full days, July 26-27, 2010. At the end of the second day, it is planned to organize a round table on the topic "Free programs for the school."
