Hi,
this time I am sending you info on the winter conference we are planning to set place here in the IT University in Gothenburg. Following is the official invitation:
====================== The Free Software Foundation Europe is cordially inviting you to attend its Winter Conference, to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden on 6th and 7th of December 2007. Presentations and discussions will be on topics of Embedded development, Web development, Software Licensing, Free Software in Education. Additionally we will hold a GPLv3 workshop and different dev rooms.
The fee for attendance is 3000 SEK, which includes attendance on both session days, lunch and coffee. Additional 500 SEK must be charged if you would like to attend the special dinner/drinks party. Registration and payment is done via the conference website.
In addition to attending we also offer you the possibility to use this opportunity and promote your company through a booth or special company symposium. For further information and pricing on that option please send an e-mail to info@theconference.org.
FSFE hopes you can become part of this important to the Free Software movement event and is looking forward to see you there. =============================
Again the question would be if anyone of you would like to actively contribute and take part. Do you have any issue/project/speaker to propose, something that is of concern. Also do you have any ideas for a name of the conference. Can you come to Gothenburg and help us out in any way.
Again looking forward to your comments.
best, irina

Just a note that this conflicts a little bit with the course we're giving for Internet Academy in Stockholm (see http://www.fsfeurope.org/events/events.sv.html) on the 7th and 8th.
It's not a major problem, but if the 6th and 7th are set, then we need to be aware that Mathis isn't going to be able to be there the 7th, since he'll hold the course in Stockholm.
It also means that Shane won't be able to be there the 7th either, since he's also holding the course in Stockholm. :-)

Good. Would be good to mention the special student rates etc as well though.

Well, it is a big problem at least. Since we want a GPLv3 workshop plus additional licensing talks at the winter conf. We could do those on saturday though. Since Mathias is offline until Tuesday, he can't object to giving a speech on a saturday;)
It also means that Shane won't be able to be there the 7th either, since he's also holding the course in Stockholm. :-)
... again, let's do licensing on Saturday. But it kind of sucks. Will check (with the tourist office if we have a huge event (booking all hotel rooms) in GOT those days)

Sponsor C: Same as Sponsor B. Also listed on the conference front page as well as the folder first page
*) could be my company. I've checked with the Tax Office (Skatteverket). And for the ones who won't trust me.... I will not take a percentage on the money ;)

Actually, it's not. Shane just told me that I had mistaken the months. The winter conference is in December, and the course with IA in November. Same dates, but different months, so that should work anyway :-)
