Hi all,
Does anyone of you consider going to BalCCon, a conference about Free Software and IT security in Novi Sad, Serbia? It's going to take place on 13-15 September.
This will be the second time I will attend, and I liked its cosy style and friendly audience. There also is an area for groups and projects to present themselves. I thought about offering an FSFE space but would love to share this joy and responsibility with other Free Software enthusiasts.
So, anyone in? :)
Best, Max
Hi Max,

I also plan to be there.

What do you have in mind? :)
This would be my first BalCCon, so not familiar with logistics, but does it make sense to pick a day and offer a space for self-organized sessions, like CCC?

Hi Nikos,
Please excuse the delayed reply, I just came back from vacation.

Cool that you will be there!

I am afraid that we are a bit too late for that already, but it indeed is a nice idea to make a Free Software track next year!
BalCCon already has an assembly area which basically is just a larger space within the conference center. So booths would consist of a table and some decoration, just like at other conferences. We could also think of offering some small merchandise, especially if we were more than 2 persons.
Would you be in? Then I can ask for a place, send the stuff to Serbia, and announce it.
Best, Max

i think you can still do that, if i remeber last year: there were some smaller sessions at some of the tables in the main room in the evening (CTF, lockpicking, werewolf, ...)
so it should also be possible to do stuff on a short notice, especially if you coordinate it with other people around you and/or the organizers as long as you don't need you own room.
(i will not make it this year unfortunatly)

I'm not much of a booth person to be honest :) And of it's just the two of us, we would probably miss most of the Congress and the opportunity to engage with people on sessions and workshops.
Maybe next we can get organized earlier. I've heard only good things BalCCon that it would be nice to have a more formal presence there.
