FOSS.my 2009 is Malaysia’s premier Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) event. FOSS.my 2009 is our second such conference, we aim for this to be an annual event bringing together professionals and enthusiasts from Malaysia, Singapore, Asia and the rest of the world for a two day grassroots driven FOSS conference.
FOSS.my is different from other events in that we focus only on FOSS and that this conference is purely non-commercial. There will be no marketing/sales talks by vendors (we are very strict on this!) so all that is presented is FOSS goodness! Instead, vendors will be encouraged to speak on the FOSS technical aspects of their projects/tools. This approach works better as it benefits all through knowledge sharing within the community.
Do explore this website to find out more about the event, and how you can participate as a speaker, delegate, volunteer, exhibitor or sponsor!
