Hallo zusammen,
Hier der Bericht von Alexander und mir von der diesjährigen Froscon (ich hoffe Englisch ist ok).
Viele Grüße Michael -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Alexander Sander alex.sander@fsfe.org Gesendet: 16. August 2019 07:51:05 MESZ An: team team@lists.fsfe.org CC: Michael Kesper mkesper@schokokeks.org Betreff: Short report FrOSCon 2019
FrOSCon took place for the 14th time this year in St. Augustin near Bonn and was again meeting point for many participants of the free software scene of Germany (and beyond).
Booth report
The booth of FSFE was placed in the middle of other projects this year. This lead to active exchange with other projects and almost the whole time we had someone at the booth who we could inform about free software and the work of FSFE. Many people wanted to be informed about our latest campaign "Public Money - Public Code". This was also subject of Alexander Sander's presentation and showed in action by the Prototype Fund who informed at our booth.
Talk report Unfortunately the talk happened at the very end of the conference on Sunday evening. Still, a couple of people attended and were very interested. Some people of other NGOs or civil society groups like Open Government Partnership as well as experts from Munich Limux project participated and all of them supported our campaign and are trying to raise awareness for our demand. It is always very motivating to have such a ambitious audience. We will stay in contacts with new established contacts and will try to find more supporters for our PMPC open letter. So, even as it was the very last talk of the conference we would consider it as a success. We will try to get another slot next year. You can find the recording of this talk on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MggxiG0ONBk as well as on peertube: https://peertube.social/videos/watch/702cb495-7a04-472c-95af-ca249816f1d4 - Please like and share it!

Thanks to all the participants of our booth who again did a fantastic job!
Best,
Michael and Alex
