Seventh Free Software Developers Conference

This traditional event for 6 years was loved by many. The backbone of the annual listeners and speakers was formed, and new participants are pleasantly surprised at the dissimilarity of the event to other similar ones. The format of the conference does not imply mass character, partly because of its specificity, usually the number of participants does not exceed 100 people. Such chamber nature favors the creation of a democratic atmosphere, participants can communicate with speakers without any fuss, find like-minded people, take part in general discussions.

The first six conferences were held in Obninsk, Kaluga region, and the Seventh will be held in cozy Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl region, where you can comfortably take free buses from Moscow (metro station ENEA), and go back to them after the conference.
