Practical Information
Open Source Days 2008 is a community driven conference. Its a collaboration between the Danish UNIX User Group (DKUUG), Skåne and Sjælland Linux User Group (SSLUG) and the Danish *BSD User Group (BSD-DK).
Open Source Days is organized by the coordination team from the annual LinuxForum conference and our aim is to make an international conference, which is both affordable and high quality.

Changing the name?
- But why? I like Linuxforum!
The highly successful open source conference "Linuxforum", which has already celebrated it's 10th anniversary is now changing name to Open Source Days in order to better reflect that Linux by no means is the only topic of the conference.
The name Open Source Days indicates that during the confererence a vast selection of technical and business open source topics will be covered by the best selection of speakers in a mix between Danish and English.
Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris and other open operating systems - and all of the applications running of these operating systems will be in focus during Open Source Days 2008.
