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.

The Venue

The University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhine-Sieg is a young and modern college. Its aim at applied science, combined with a constant drive for innovation, modern premises and its fantastic locality make this college an ideal venue.

The location, Sankt Augustin, lies in the charming Rhineland, in close proximity to the former capitol of Germany, Bonn. Due to superb transport connection, Sankt Augustin may also be quickly reached from Cologne as well as from the international airport Cologne/Bonn.

The original Palo Alto BarCamp was born out of frustration with the stifling atmosphere of most conferences. In a bold move, the founders decided to hold an "unconference" and let the attendees decide the schedule and topics to be presented. The organizers provided only a venue, a blank schedule board, and some overhead projectors: attendees were responsible for creating all the content, giving all the presentations, and having all the fun. The experiment was a resounding success, and BarCamps in Toronto, Amsterdam, and New York City soon followed. BarCamp Grand Rapids continues this proud tradition, for the third year running.

Calvin College is generously donating classroom space, including a space for a "campout" Friday night. Gordon Food Service, Subway, and Biggby Coffee will be providing food for the event, and SageTech will be hosting a get-together after the Friday night sessions. Elevator Up has also pitched in to help keep to conference free for all attendees.
