The EuroBSDCon 2005 organizers are pleased to announce that the conference program and schedule are now defined and online registration on our website is now open.
This year's EuroBSDCon will take place from Nov. 25 till Nov. 27. at the University of Basel, Switzerland.
The conference will start with the now traditional tutorial day on Friday, offering a selection of five very interesting tutorials aimed at developers, system administrators and BSD users in general.
On Saturday and Sunday the technical conference with three plenary sessions and twenty high-level talks will give an overview on the current state of the art.
A social event, dubbed "The Night of the Living Dead", on Saturday night in one of Basel's well-known cellars near the conference venue, will round-up the program with a dinner and bars and give attendees the possibility to discuss in a relaxed atmosphere.
The conference organizers and the program committee with all speakers and tutors are looking forward to meet you at EuroBSDCon 2005.
