Announcing the 2009 Slackathon

Contributed by jj on from the lazy-bum-slackers-with-ca$h dept.

Welcome to this years Swedish OpenBSD conference, the 2009 Slackathon!

It will be held August 15th at the Stockholm University, though not in the same conference room as the previous years, since it couldn't hold all visitors anymore!

This year, there will be even more OpenBSD developers attending since the 2009 Slackathon happens right after the f2k9 Filesystem Hackathon in Stockholm.
The website is slowly getting into shape, and probably won't hold the complete "truth" until afterwards, since we update it as we get more correct info. Be sure to check the web more frequently as we get closer to the event.

The url is www.slackathon.se:2009

Since there doesn't seem to be an OpenCon this year, the Slackathon probably is the only European OpenBSD-only conference held, so even if it collides with HAR2009 and the Stockholm "midnight run", you don't want to miss it!

Get them begging skills warmed up and draw donations from friends, employers, parents or other rich entities that you think should donate to OpenBSD and OpenSSH!

As with previous years there will be no entrance fee and dinner will be served for free to everyone, but I'd still need you to pre-announce if you want it so I can make the correct amount of food, and also if you want the vegan version.

For all of you who don't live nearby, we can probably find you a couch to sleep on here, just send a heads-up and we'll dig up a few "volunteers" to share their living quarters with you.

Hope to see you all there!

    Is there any BSD conference with OpenBSD talks/speakers in North America? Just asking because Europe is a very long distance to travel from FL, USA.

      The 2009 event has already happened, but I know I'm looking forward to 2010.

      Sometimes there's nycbsdcon. There's bsdcan in Ottawa. Eurobsdcon is in Cambridge this year, which isn't much farther from Florida than many parts of N.A.

    In fact, there is one more European OpenBSD only conference - OpenKyiv, held in Kyiv, Ukraine. It is held on 1 if August, for the second time this year.

    Is there any chance of some more detailed info on how to get to the event?

    Using public transport for example.

      You ride the subway to the Stockholm University, its a station along the red subway line heading northwards. From there, follow the blowfish pics or the map on the slackathon website.

        Just make sure you are going towards Mörby Centrum, not Ropsten.
        Bus 40/540 might also be a good option, if you happen to be nearby.

      Just take the subway/metro to Universitetet (red line). More info & maps at http://www.su.se/english/about/campus/getting-to-stockholm-university
