Thanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The organizational committee of FOSSCOMM 2021<\/a> calls on Free\/Open Source Software communities and anyone else interested to submit a presentation\/workshop application at https:\/\/pretalx.2021.fosscomm.gr\/fosscomm-2021\/cfp<\/a> before 4 November 2021. The official language is Greek, but applications in English will also be accepted. This year’s FOSSCOMM 2021<\/a> will be hosted online by the University of Macedonia<\/a> between 13 and 14 November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fosscomm is an annual conference organized by Greek Free\/Open Source Software communities. Taking place in a different city every year, it welcomes open technology communities, companies, and programmers. Fosscomm hosts more than 800 participants annually. Starting from 2008, there have been 13 Fosscomm conferences in Athens, Larissa, Thessaloniki, Patras, Serres, Athens, Lamia, Piraeus, Athens, Heraklion, Lamia, and Kastoria respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presentations will belong to one of the following categories. There exists no strict limitation, as new categories can be created as needed. The categorization exists simply to facilitate a smoother organization of the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presentations can last up to 30 minutes, including questions. Note that 30 minutes is simply the upper bound – therefore, a lesser duration is also acceptable. With regard to workshops, the suggested duration is 2 hours. However, any time length between 1 and 2.5 hours is also acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To submit an application, visit https:\/\/pretalx.2021.fosscomm.gr\/fosscomm-2021\/cfp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can keep up with news about Fosscomm 2021 at any of the following links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2192 Website: https:\/\/2021.fosscomm.gr\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2192 Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fosscommgr<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2192 Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/fosscomm2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For any other questions or comments, please reach out to us at info@fosscomm.gr<\/a> or at any of our social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The two day conference will be hosted by the University of Macedonia (UOM) from 13 to 14 November 2021. FOSSCOMM is an annual Free Software Conference. It aims at facilitating discussion between Free Software communities, clubs, and research and development teams, as well as attracting new members to those groups. It also aims at showcasing the importance and necessity of using Free and Open Source Software, as well as new trends of the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular participants include GFOSS communities, as well as new programmers from academia. The annual attendance stands over 1000 participants on average. FOSSCOMM features technological news in the field, innovative ideas, as well as a collection of suggestions for the promotion of Free\/Open Source Software. It also offers participants the opportunity to accrue new expertise through presentations and workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FOSSCOMM is for all those who are interested in Free\/Open Source Software, without regard to the depth of their knowledge on the use of software and computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 13 FOSSCOMM conferences have already been hosted, with the first being in Athens (in 2008 at the NTUA), and the latest having been hosted by the University of Western Macedonia (link to page). Participation in FOSSCOMM is free of charge; all of the event costs are covered through donations and sponsorships. The event planning and organization is undertaken exclusively by volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more announcements, stay tuned at: We are excited to announce that the following picture has been chosen as our conference’s logo<\/p>\n\n\n\n The creator of the logo was Arsen Shehi<\/a> with the help of the organizing committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many thanks to Arsen for his contribution!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please feel free to use the logo to promote the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friendly reminder:<\/em> The final date for presentation applications is the 24th of October 2021<\/strong>.
