Free Software in Balkans 2010 (A free software
conference on the Balkanies is approaching)
Today when I was reviewing my daily visited websites I come across
an interesting news.
This kind of meeting is quite a news because it is the first in
line where Free software users and developmers from all around the
balkanies will meet to discuss,test,share and continue the free
software code and ideals.
The first
Free Software conference in the Balkanies is about to be hosted
in Vlora
University Albania .
The conference
Free Software in Balkans (FreeSB2010) is an annual meeting of
the free software users, developpers and supporters in the Balkan
countries. It will travel from country to country, year to year to
different locations. The Conference will gather professionals,
academics and enthusiasts who share the vision that software should
be free and open for the community to develop and customize to its
needs, and that knowledge is a communal property and free and open
to everyone.
This kind of event will build up the social network between free
software fans and developers and will further help in the general
spread of free software on the balkanies.
This kind of meeting are already for a long time a tradition in
many states in America, so having it in the balkanies is quite a
development.

Free Software in Balkans 2010 conference here
Pitily right now there is no published scheduled list of
presentations which are about to be given in the conference, but I
guess the conference schedule would be out in a few days
time.
I'm not yet sure if I'll have the time and opportunity to attend
the conference, however I do hope that somebody of my balkan
readers will got interested into the "fabulous" Free Software event
and will support the event's initiative by visiting it
