Dear all,

as announced in our February newsletter [1] and as a recent news item [2], in 2016 the FSFE is going to organise its first ever summit that will happen from September 2nd to 4th in the Berlin Congress Center [3]. We celebrate 15 years of existence this year and dedicate our summit to you, our community all over Europe. You are the ones who made us strong. The summit will be free of admission and highly participatory to let Free Software enthusiasts across Europe use, study, share and improve their skills and knowledge about Free Software and beyond - together.

The summit will be full days the weekend of September 3 / 4. One day in advance, on Friday, FSFE invites to a full day about "Running successful business with Free Software". For both events we are looking for speakers, input, volunteers and participants.

Please find all the details about the summit, about proposing talks and volunteering on our wiki page:

Please share this call on your private and public channels and be aware that the deadline to apply as a speaker is already May 17!

Thank you very much and looking forward to an interesting event,

Erik Albers Your friendly event organiser
