1st international FSFE Fellowship meeting: Nov 11th

Registration is now possible for FSFE's first international Fellowship meet, November 11th.

I think this is the first free software conference in Europe which isn't technical, or focused on a particular law, or focused on a particular country. The idea is to host a get together for all the free software supporters and activists of Europe. The schedule will be decided by whoever is coming. That can be discussed on the new discussion@lists.fsfe.org mailing list.

This is also new for FSFE since it's our first general conference. FSFE organised one conference before, but that was specific to the topic of GPLv3 (the Barcelona event).

"The Fellowship" was launched in February 2005 as FSFE's membership program for community outreach. There have been various local meetups organised by the Fellows, and recently someone suggested a Europe-wide meetup, so that's what's happening.

The date is Saturday November 11th, and the venue is Bolzano, which is in South Tyrol, which is in Northern Italy. That time and place was chosen because there is a free software event happening there on November 10th, so there're two reasons to come to that part of Italy that weekend. (That conference is SFScon, but there is little on their webpage right now.)

Registering is a good idea since then you can see who else will be there, and it will help in planning what discussions and sessions to have.
