Notes about keynote speeches:
  • Usually speeches will be 30, 40 or 60 minutes in length but will be provided the optimal time for all the speakers to finish their presentations.
  • The language of the conference will be mainly English but we expect some Romanian presentations too; anyway, there will be translation services provided in both languages on the headset.
  • The conference will have a single track in the morning, consisting in more general talks about OS/FS, and two tracks in the afternoon: one track will hold academicals/technical presentations and the other one will present practical solutions and case studies about Open Source/Free Software commercial implementation.

Sunday 20th May: The farewell to the guests

Breakfast for the guest speakers, departure to airport.

Note:

The organizational committee could change the above schedule. Any kind of change in the schedule is going to be reflected under this section.
