The openSUSE Conference (oSC) is the yearly get-together of our community to give its people a chance to meet face to face, talk to and inspire each other. Being together in one room, even in this day and age, beats every other method and collaboration is what forges cohesion and friendships. That is why the openSUSE Project tries to get together this conference every year for its contributors. But not only for them, so the conference is for anyone using, working with or taking advantage of the project. No matter if you use our technology, if you are one of our many friends from free and open source projects upstream or if you contribute to another GNU / Linux distribution this conference is for you.

openSUSE brought lots of fun to FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium. We’re all exhausted now from selling beer, t-shirts, hats and giving demonstrations of openSUSE with GNOME Shell, KDE, Plasma Active, openSUSE-on-ARM (running XFCE) and countless other things. Yet we did want to tell you about FOSDEM before we go catch up on sleep!
Beer and Goodies
Like last year, the crew from the SUSE office in Nuremberg loaded up a bus with people, beer and anything / one else needed for FOSDEM. The bus was left during Friday night at the ULB where FOSDEM would happen. Despite the risk of somebody breaking in and stealing our awesome goodies, it was deemed more important to join the other FOSDEM go-ers in their attack on the tasty-beverage supply of Brussels! Besides, a night outside in the>-10C degrees from last weekend Ensured the beer would be cold and ready to drink.

The lecture dar.quonb
A short lecture plan (probably spread over two sessions):
For on 17 and 18 March 2012 held in Chemnitz Linux Days is now known as the “Call for Lectures” on line. Sought input on the various themes of this year’s motto, “Kernel and renewable energy synergies”.
With the “Call for Lectures” starts from the Technical University of Chemnitz, the search for suitable lectures, workshops and projects for the upcoming ” Chemnitz Linux Days “. Issues are increasingly sought “to the fields of” kernel “and” synergies. Content, however it should not just be one of the centerpieces of the open-source software development. Want the main idea of Linux Days 2012 is aimed primarily at speakers, both a glimpse into the past and philosophize about their visions for future free operating systems. The achievements of the open-source software development should also be adhered to here as criticisms.
