We’ve started publishing introductions of the most interesting speakers at the conference’s website.
This is just a portion of talks that have been already submitted. There are also workshops/labs and short talks and we already have 65 submissions. But there is room for more and if you have an interesting topic, submit it!

There will also be other events during the conference. Several Fedora Activity Days are planned. Systemd developers already announced that they would have a hackfest on Thursday and Friday before the conference. RPM guys of SUSE will have a BoF with Red Hat’s RPM team on improving maintainability of RPMs for openSUSE and Fedora. GNOME Docs team will come to Brno to work on GNOME documentation for 5 days. And more is to be revealed!

BTW we’d like to hear what information you miss at the conference’s website to add it and make your stay in Brno as pleasant as possible.
