The topics of the tracks this year are:
* Keepers of Culture (archiving) * Biohacking * Everyday Crypto * P2P Society * Groundbreaking User Experience

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)
