The openSUSE Conference schedule[1] is up and registration[2] is open!

Attending the openSUSE Conference is free, but registration is required. Lunch
will be provided, so please be sure to sign up[2] early so we can get an
accurate headcount.

The openSUSE Conference is for anyone and everyone making a contribution to
openSUSE. Whether you're a developer, packager, translator, artist, or
ambassador, you belong at the openSUSE Conference if you want to help promote,
improve, and influence the openSUSE Project.

The conference will have two daily tracks of pre-planned talks, plus
"BarCamp[3]" style tracks for attendees to plan and provide their own
content. Scheduled talks include:

  * OBS and Cross-Platform Packaging: Peter Linnell

  * Git in the Build Service: Andreas Gruenbacher

  * openSUSE & Moblin: Michael Meeks

  * Building Commercial Grade Appliances with SUSE Studio: Marcus Moeller

The openSUSE KDE team will be holding a full program of contributor workshops
and sprints during the openSUSE Conference.

We'll also be celebrating Software Freedom Day on Saturday, September 19th
with Open Day -- a full day of introductory sessions for users new to Linux,
open source, and openSUSE.
