Call for participation -- FSCONS 2014, 31 Oct-2 Nov
The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting place for social change, focused on the intersection between technology, culture and society. FSCONS is organised according to the principles laid out in our Manifesto[1], a living document accepted by the society's members at the yearly meeting.
The conference brings together people from a wide range of fields, and merges the technical with the social, seeking both to activate and challenge. Open discussion and brainstorming are as important as the talks given during the conference.
Invitation
We're looking for proposals that relate to Free Software, Free Culture or Free Society generally, as well as those which are at the crossroads of the three or which take the philosophy and brings them to a whole new field. To give you a hint of the scope of the conference here are some topics already planned:
* Open Space * Open Government * Open Web * Programming Languages * Makers
But don't let this restrict your thinking: you can submit a proposal even if it doesn't quite fit into any of the above topics.
The deadline for your proposal is June 20th.
