Program

On both conference days FrOSCon offers a comprehensive program of lectures and workshops in 8 rooms. Additional lectures and workshops are offered by several Open Source Projects in their own project rooms.

• Program

• Directory of developer rooms

Apart from that, we offer additional events. In 2018 we will offer:

• LPI-Certifications
• FrogLabs
• Childcare - Kernel Developers 2.0

Like every year there is also a social event with BBQ and local beer on Saturday evening to celebrate FrOSCon. 

Thanks to some developers there exist some apps to present the FrOSCon schedule:

• Giggity (Programm URL) (Android)
• Giraffe (Programm URL) (Android)
• Mobile Version (Browser)

We offer lectures about current developments of all areas of Free Software and Open Source, e.g.:

• Operating systems
• Software development
• Administration
• IT security
• Legal aspects
• Desktop
• Education
• GIS

Each year we focus on some topics. For 2018 these are:

• Being blessed by the algorithm - (S)election bias in code
• There's a Tux in your window - The year of Linux on the Desktop?
• The crossroads of privacy - wealth of data and a new gold rush.
• The Spectre of hardware bugs - how to handle security meltdowns.
• Cloud-native on demand distributed containerized RESTful serverless on premise microservice: Hello World! as a service.

In this year the kids and youth track "FrogLabs" is organized from kids for kids, meaning that theys can present their own projects and ideas in workshops.

Full participation in FrogLabs like every year requires registration through https://kids.froscon.de/. There will, however, be a few places for interested children to take part in the workshops only. These seats will be very limited.
