Die FrOSCon ist eine zweitägige Konferenz rund um die Themen Freie Software und Open Source, die am 25. und 26. August 2007 bereits zum zweiten mal an der Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin bei Bonn stattfindet.

Im Vordergrund der Konferenz steht ein reichhaltiges Vortragsprogramm, das aktuelle Themen aus dem Bereich Freie Software und Open Source beleuchtet. Darüberhinaus wird Entwicklern großer Freier Software- oder Open Source-Projekte Raum geboten, um eigene Treffen, aber auch ein eigenes Programm zu organisieren.

Hi there. I’m Greg Rose, currently President of CAcert Inc. I wanted to tell the membership that the new board of directors is in place and doing things. We had our first board meeting a few weeks ago. We have since assumed control of the domain names, and are in the process of getting bank accounts moved over too. Most of our activity in the near future will be oriented toward getting the association on a sound management footing, so that we can make further progress on the audit, being included in more browsers, and promotion of our services.

We are planning an AGM around November. Look out for more information about that.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions or send suggestions to me/us.

Greg.
