We are leaning towards the date 11/11/11 and unless we hear strong reasons against that date it will soon be officially accepted as the date for FSCONS 2011.

'''When''': We will host the conference the weekend 11/11/11. Other events this year can be found [[Other_Events_2011|here]].
The organisation is divided into several groups (see below on how to get involved). The groups are coordinated by the core team, currently consisting of Jonas Öberg (FFKP), Henrik Sandklef (FFKP) and Rikard Fröberg (FFKP).
 
== Get involved ==
 
Who wants to help out with the organisation? People needed for everything from drupal development or marketing to moving furniture.
 
  
In fact, the conference is depending heavily on participation from the community and voluntary co-operation. FSCONS is the sum of what we do together.

Rough outline: The [[GetInvolved|groups]] have each a team leader who reports to the core team as they deem necessary. All groups meet together regularly so that issues or tasks can be coordinated and dealt with. The meetings are open to everybody but the team leaders should preferably attend so that coordination and progress is easy and we all know we are on track according to the plan. Urgent issues may of course be directed to the core team at any time by the team leaders.

Every other Monday following that, we have physical meetings in Gothenburg. These meetings will start at '''16:00, 17:00 or 18:00'''  and be concluded around an hour later. You can participate online in IRC or (perhaps more reasonable) you can submit your thoughts on the topics to the organisational mailing list before the meeting so that we can take them into consideration.

We are gathering suggestions for the upcoming meeting agendas on [[2011_meetings|this page]].

Deadline for additions to the agenda will be the Thursday '''preceeding''' the meeting, with the agenda being published via email the next day (Friday '''preceeding''' the meeting) if nothing urgent comes along. We start each meeting with going through the agenda.
