Categories: (5 nominations each category).

Best developer

Best contributor

5th edition of LinuxDays will take place in Geneva on June 3 - 5. LinuxDays is the first IT show in French-speaking Switzerland to be dedicated to Open Source solutions, in businesses, but also in schools and administrations. The entry is free for all.

LinuxDays are aiming at promoting Open Source solutions to businesses and organisations, by introducing the existing solutions, by animating debates, by gathering all the companies that have the best competencies for your Open Source projects.

Conferences at LinuxDays 2009 are distributed between 4 tracks: Education, Public administrations, Open for Business and Grid Computing. Each of these tracks has its own themes. There will also be workshops to continue the talks and ideas started in the conferences.

About CMS and Drupal, there will be two conferences by the Edipresse group, one about the migration of all their newspapers' websites to Drupal ("Drupal for Media : the Edipresse experience"), and one about tuning Drupal for high performance ("High performance Drupal for media sites").

Also, our key note speaker, Michel Rocard, a former French Prime Minister and Deputy at the European Parliament, will give a conference and participate to a debate about legal aspects of using Free Software.

EU-funded IKS Project Invites Open Source CMS to Workshop on Semantic Requirements

The European "IKS" Project ("Interactive Knowledge Stack") is inviting Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community members to a workshop on May 28-29 in Salzburg, Austria. At this workshop IKS would like to achieve some consensus on "semantic requirements" for open source content management systems.

There are already over 30 confirmed participants who will during the workshop gather requirements as the first development step towards an open source technology stack for semantic-enabled open-source CMS.

If you think you should be at the IKS workshop, find more information and a contact at http://www.iks-project.eu/requirements-workshop-28-29-may-2009.
