More about the conf:
FSCONS is a non-profit, progressive, and intimate conference that was
founded by Free Software groups in 2007 and has taken place in
Universities around Gothenburg every year since.
Around 300 people participate. Past topics include
cryptocurrency taxation, secure digital democracy, open source ecology,
and distributed communications. Past keynotes have included Richard
Stallman and Glyn Moody.
Keynotes this year are Ken MacLeod (Scottish Science Fiction Author) and
Birgitta Jónsdóttir (elected Icelandic Pirate Party MP). Werner Koch of
GnuPG will also speak.
Best,
Sam (FSCONS Volunteer)
