About FrOSCon
FrOSCon is a two day conference on Free Software and Open Source, taking place for the fifth time on August, 20th/21st 2011 at the University of Applied Science in Sankt Augustin near the cities of Bonn and Cologne.

The conference revolves around a rich schedule of talks, highlighting current topics in Free Software and Open Source. Moreover, developers will be offered a large Free Software / Open Source space, allowing them to organize their own meetings or even their own lineup of events.

Additionally, exhibition space will be available to companies and projects, so they can present themselves to the visitors.
