This event is free and is open to everyone. Please register at: http://2014-gf.eventdove.com/event/4394/page/11138 '''FUDCon''' is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference, a major free software event held in various regions around the world, usually annually per region. FUDCon APAC will be held in Beijing, China on May 23--25, 2014. It will be the first premier event in Fedora.next phase, spreading innovative ideas and helping make Fedora better than ever. This year it will be held together with GNOME.Asia Summit, an annual conference for GNOME users and developers in Asia. We believe the cooperation will bring a more exciting gather up of free and open source communities. FUDCon is a combination of sessions, talks, workshops, and hackfests in which contributors work on specific initiatives. This year we will have many key community members and talented speakers to deliver sessions of a wide range of topics including infrastructure, packaging, community building, new applications and architectures and so on.
