At the tOSSad meeting in Istanbul, I met Giulio Concas from DIEE University in Cagliari/Italy, also a tOSSad partner. He told me about the Linux User Group in Cagliari and I simply had to picture him wearing the t-shirt of the user group – isn’t it nice?
Some time ago, Lukas asked for an overview of Open Source events and compiled one himself.
The tOSSad EU project also got a list of events online. eZ systems is a consortium partner in tOSSad, thus I recently passed some of the events to Görkem (a tOSSad fellow) which eZ systems had internally. He just added them.
If you’d like to have an event added to the tOSSad list, please leave a comment here.
BTW: tOSSad is an abbreviation of “towards Open Source Software adoption and dissemination”. Take a look at

I am now a fellow of the Free Software Foundation Europe. It was about time to give something back to a movement that had such a huge impact on my life in a positive sense. Without free software, I would not have the job I have and the life I live. Long live free software!
