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 exhibitors
• Directory of developer rooms (tba)

Apart from that, in recent years we could offer discounted Linux Professional Institute (LPI) exams, a keysigning party, Lighting Talks, a youth and kids track FrogLabs and our child care program Kernel Developers 2.0. In 2017 we can already state that we will offer:

• FrogLabs
• LPI exams
• 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 2017 these are:

• Cooexisting with Bots - Why can't we be friends?
• The Rise of Machine Learning - You Only Learn Once
• Persistent Migration - The changing pace of software in the Open Source landscape
• The days of plenty are over - Software Design Patterns in 2017

Also we will have a OSGeo & OSM Subkonferenz. Topics are: OpenStreetMap, free geodata, free GIS software & more

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 http://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.
