Session Schedule
The Session Schedule is now synced with the official FrOSCon schedule after the speakers confirmed their slots.
Goals
Attendees of this conference are mostly open source developers and end users/open source enthusiasts. The FrOSCon organizers agreed to provide us with a "Developer Room" for both days, which allows us to organize our own subconference about Open Source Databases. The goal of this event is to spread the word about the vibrant communities and large ecosystems around Open Source Databases and to educate the attendees about what alternatives exist to commercial databases.
Call for participation
The call for participation this time draws from the large number of submissions that could not be placed in the main FrOSCon schedule. Due to the great quality we dedided to open an extra venue for database related talks
Further info
OpenSQLCamp is organized by Volker Oboda and Felix Schupp. We are approaching relevant projects directly and invite them to join us. Again, we will make use of the FrOSCon infrastructure, e.g. their conference system at http://cfp.froscon.de/.
