OpenFest e единствената по рода си в България конференция, посветена на свободната култура, свободния софтуер и софтуера с отворен код, свободното споделяне на знания – фестивал на свободното творчество. OpenFest е ежегодна среща на всички почитатели, създатели, поддръжници и нови фенове на свободните изкуства и свободния софтуер.

Целта на OpenFest е да популяризира проекти, реализирани с помощта на свободен софтуер и софтуер с отворен код, както и да бъде форум за обмен на идеи и добри практики в областта. Същевременно организаторите всякога се стараят да дадат поле за изява и на свободното изкуство.

Емблемата на OpenFest е отворено за знания и информация човешко око, чийто мигли са лъчи на изгряващо слънце. Изгревът е символ на зараждаща се свобода. Автор на идеята и графичната реализация на тази символика е художникът-хакер Здравко Здравков.

Мотото на OpenFest е “Да споделим свободата!”

Първият Openfest се състои през 2003 година в София и оттогава досега фестивалът се провежда всяка година. Още от първото си провеждане OpenFest протича под патронажа на Президента на Република България.

Организатор на OpenFest е Фондация Отворени Проекти, чиито усилия всяка година намират подкрепата на цялата българска free/open source общност и на много партньори и приятели.

Dear OOo hackers,

the OOoCon just ended, and we realize how little time we can spend together face2face each year. To properly fix that problem, we hereby announce the next event around OpenOffice.org - a HackFest in Hamburg, specifically targeted to developers, to give all of us more face time & collectively work on the code.

The OpenOffice.org HackFest will take place on the weekend of November 6./7. 2010 in the Attraktor in Hamburg, and a tentative program could look like this:

    * Friday night - beer & fun, warming up
    * Saturday morning - Intro talks, Hands-on sessions
    * Saturday afternoon/night - collective hacking, bug fixing
    * Sunday morning - wrap-up, review, document

For those who are in need for a bursary, we have a limited travel funding budget available. For sleeping, couchsurfing at the organizers is available. Be aware that would be in an unheated loft, so bringing a sleeping mat and a good sleeping bag would be essential. For more comfortable reasonably priced acommodations see the wiki page.

We look forward to meet you there, stay tuned for further announcements around programme and sponsoring! To register yourself, just drop a short note to hackfest@openoffice.org and we'll follow up with further information soon.

  Philosophy

The goal of IRILL is to take over some of the significant challenges coming from the generalisation of Free and Open Source Software; for this, we want to attract some very special people to join it, and this page tries to give a rough idea of the identi-kit of an IRILL member.
Researchers

A typical senior researcher at IRILL is a well established and recognised researcher, that has also participated, or followed actively the development of some free or open source software project, and that is ready now to bridge the gap between these two activities. Stepping back for a while from the code and software development, he identifies some significant issues in the evolution of that development, makes them the object of his research, and once some significant improvements come out, will make an effort to bring them to the attention of the developer community of the original project, ideally up to the point of having them adopted. This same criterion applies to whole projects or research teams joining IRILL.

In parallel with the research activity, we encourage activities oriented towards the development of new components of a Computer Science curriculum, specifically taking into account the availability, for  use, contribution and study, of free and open source software.

Researchers, teachers, projects and team are hosted in the center for a limited amount of time.
Community developers

One of the center's foremost activity is the invitation of top notch free and open source developers to come and spend a limited time (typically ranging from two weeks to two months) in the center, to continue their regular activity in the center's rich environment, while interacting with the center's members, via a few seminars, or master classes. From this interaction, research and collaboration ideas will emerge, as well as significant contributions to the teaching materials.
Industry partners

Specific research and development projects carried on by industrial partners may be hosted for a short period in the center, with the same goal of fostering collaboration and innovation, transferring technology from research to industry, and seeding research  with issues from the real world.

Who should attend?

FOMS is for individuals and organizations that work on open audio and video software, specifications, and installations. FOMS is a unique forum in which to talk with like-minded individuals about common problems and how to solve them.

This year, FOMS will have a special emphasis on the new WebM format announced by Google, Mozilla, and Opera. We will identify and close technology gaps to help progress WebM towards a baseline codec solution for HTML5.

FOMS is highly technical and very hands-on, so it's not for casually interested parties. But anyone with an interest in the future of mass media should attend the Open Video Conference.
