There are many events on Free+Open Source Software in Europe by now. So many in fact, that you have to make a decision on which to attend. But what can you expect of those events? How many people will attend? What is the main focus there? And how does the place look like anyway? I will give examples of events in Austria, France, Germany, Sweden, and BeNeLux. I would like to encourage you to take a look at those events and participate - as an organizer, lecturer, helper at a booth - or simply as an auditor. Please come and exchange your ideas with the maintainers of the projects! Maybe some of the projects will find a translator for the documentation or a contact person in another country. Cross the borders and join the fun! :)
