Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit Gothenburg, Sweden, 13-15th November 2009
The Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a meeting place for social change, focused on the future of free software and free society. The growing speed of new and innovative changes taking place within digital culture, as well as the pressing need for members of society to gain access to information, software and cultural works without financial or governmental barriers, mean that FSCONS 2009 will deal with an array of hot topics.
Open discussion and brainstorming are two of the primary factors that pave the way for change. The conference seeks to engage, inform and motivate social change through these discussions, and we hope that you will join us in this to change the future of digital culture!
FSCONS 2009 is Co-Organised by the Foundation for Free Culture and Software, Free Software Foundation Europe, Serengeti, Wikimedia Sweden, Creative Commons Sweden and FriBit.
