Hello world! Cc-ing -project, since it's a pretty related matter. On 1-2 June 2013, Fundația Ceata [1] will be organizing its first international Free Software and Free Culture conference, called Coliberator (website coming soon). The event will take place in Bucharest [2], the capital of Romania. [1] http://ceata.org [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucharest In order to provide some quick background (you can always ask for more), Fundația Ceata is described pretty well by Tiberiu Turbureanu, its president and founder, on his blog [3]. Also, Ceata organized two Debian events in the past year [4][5], and there are certainly more to come.

This number is the participation target for the first edition of Coliberator. Coliberator will be much like FOSDEM (but on a smaller scale), being a community-driven, no participantion-fee event with keynotes, lightning talks, dev rooms and stands for FS & FC projects who send representatives to give talks at Coliberator. The conference's main topics include (but are not limited to) user rights, freedom of software, free licenses, projects that endorse / support free software and general digital freedom discussions. Please note that Coliberator is a community-driven conference (much like FOSDEM) at its first edition and we won't be able to pay the travel expenses for the speakers. However, our volunteers are happy to host speakers at their places, if you find this to be nice/acceptable. Please let me know what you think of this, and even query me on IRC if I'm available. For a reasonable number of questions, I can provide a quick answer without asking further :-) -- . o . Victor Nițu . . o debian.org.ro o o o nightsh @OFTC
