OSCAL 2018
OSCAL (Open Source Conference Albania) is the first annual conference in Albania organized to promote software freedom, open source software, free culture and open knowledge. The Conference will take place at 19 & 20 May 2018 in Tirana and will gather free libre open source technology users, developers, academics, governmental agencies and people who share the idea that software should be free and open for the local community and governments to develop and customize to its needs; that knowledge is a communal property and free and open to everyone. The mission is to educate the Albanian youth, and not only, on Free and Open Source Software, its ideology and the great community behind it.
Fedora is once again going to be a big part of this conference, as we'll deliver several talks and workshops. We're also having a booth as well. This event is a great chance of spreading the word about Fedora in Albania and engaging with the local Albanian community about open source and the Fedora community.
