Zurich, Switzerland :: September 17 - 19, 2010

''The primary owners of this event are Sandro Mathys & Marcus Moeller, with some help and budget from Red Hat's Community Architecture team.

Quick reference
FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developer's Conference, an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. For a taste of what a FUDCon is like, you can view a video from a previous FUDCon.

This year FUDCon EMEA will be proudly hosted by FrOSCamp 2010 on the premises of the ETH Zurich. This goes as far as that the unknowing user might not even be able to separate them as there will be a single agenda for both. Of course FUDCon will have Fedora dedicated rooms and FrOSCamp will have their own rooms - there'll be only one shared keynote room tho. Both events take place in the same building at the same time (no FrOSCamp on Sunday tho) and share lots of resources and hopefully also a part of the audience. Seeing FrOSCamp and FUDCon participants in some sort of productive exchange would be great! After all Fedora is friends with all other major distributions, upstream, downstream and all other projects oriented towards free and open source.

Even the party on Friday evening is open for everyone from both events. There'll be a FUDPub targeted mainly for the FUDCon audience on Saturday evening, but of course friends are always welcome there too.

Take a look at our Facebook page for regular updates and news as well as stunning pictures from the event.

Wired Dreams Party
On Friday evening after FUDCon there's a big party together with the folks from FrOSCamp. It will take place in the student association's party location in the ETH Zurich's CAB building which is just next to the primary event location (CHN building). No matter whether you'll just need a FreeBeer (free as in freedom, i.e. creative commons) after an exhausting day or you need to move your body to the bands playing live creative commons music after many hours of sitting in talks all day long that party is definitely the place to be!

FUDPub
On Saturday evening after FUDCon there's a relaxed FUDPub for Fedora folks and friends taking place in Zurich.

Sightseeing at CERN
On Monday there are plans to do some sightseeing at CERN.
