One of the newer open source and free software conferences in the Spanish speaking community, expecting 1500-3000 attendees in 2009. The conference is run by Chilean open source community organizations, one of which being Firefox Chile. We will be there to improve visibility of Mozilla Hispano in the Open Source Community and try to recruit conference attendees to the project.
The event this year will be divided into three topics:
- Society - On the Society axis we’ll talk about the Free Software as a social phenomenon: this is, as a cultural product that is made, distributed and used by people on a social environment.
- Technical - On the Technical axis, we’ll speak about the Free Software such as a scientific research object or as in technical implementations.
- Enterprises - On the Enterprises axis, we’ll speak about the Free Software used on enterprises, succesful cases, business models based on FLOSS solutions, promotion and sales, etc.
