FLOSS Calendar - Free/Libre Open Source Software Events in 2008

= FLOSS Calendar =

This calendar is an overview to events related to
Free/Libre and Open Source Software in Europe
(and then some - eg Canada and USA, for coordination).

The focus is on events which last at least one day and
which are mostly open to the public at a low cost.
The calendar also lists all those deadlines, too.

There are not only conferences, but also for meetings
of specialized groups, eg for Gnome, KDE, mysql etc.

I am considering to add events on
BarCamps, CAcert certifications, as well as
Bug Squashing Parties (BSPs) and
Key Signing Parties (KSPs).

Please send feedback and hints about more events!
