FSCONS

Hackers at FSCONS 2011

Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit (FSCONS) is a Nordic conference trying to bridge the gap between software and cultural freedom held each autumn in Gothenburg, Sweden. It shares many similarities with FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting) in the way in which the event is structured, but where the latter attracts speakers and visitors primarily interested in Free software, FSCONS aims to attract a more diverse crowd. The conference was organised 2007-2011 by FFKP, the Society for Free Culture and Software.[1] In 2012, a new member run association was formed to take over the organisation of conference.

Conference history

The event was first organised by members of the Free Software Foundation Europe, in particular its Swedish team[2] and the then current intern in their Gothenburg office. It was organised the 7–8 December 2007 and attracted about 80 visitors. Some of the speakers were Jonas Öberg,[3] Mats Östling,[4] Lars Aronsson and Georg C. F. Greve.[5]

Through the years 2008-2011, the conference was organised once a year, always in October or November. In 2008, the FSFE was joined by Wikimedia Sverige[6] and Creative Commons Sweden[7] as co-organisers of the event.

Notable speakers over the years include Richard Stallman,[8] Smári McCarthy,[9] Oscar Swartz,[10] Dr. Ansgar Bernardi, Christina Haralanova,[11] Amelia Andersdotter, Marcin Jakubowski, Erik Zachte, Edmund Harriss, Karin Kosina, Henri Bergius, Glyn Moody,[12] Erik de Bruijn, and, Alessandro Rubini, to mention a few.

In 2012 the member-run association Föreningen FSCONS was formed to take over the organisation of the conference from FFKP. The conference has continued to be held in November each year.
