There's an indicative budget which leaves the costs at between 30000€ and 47000€, ie. in line with what the conference cost 2008. Of course, the cost very much depends on how many people will show up, and this is calculated for 300 people, including coffees and dinners. The most expensive item is for the location, which will cost roughly 10000€.
 
Sponsorship requests have been sent to .SE (for 250 kSEK) and Nordisk Kulturfond (for 50 kDKK).

Information pertaining last years FSCONS can be found at FSCONS 2008.

This is some preliminary information regarding FSCONS 2009. As you can see, we are still in an early stage of preparations and are still filling in all the gaps. If you're interested in official announcements of FSCONS, please subscribe to our announce mailinglist, where regular announcement will be sent. FSCONS planning and related things can currently be discussed on the general Nordic fsfe-nordic mailing list.

Possible co-operative associations in each Nordic country

A very quick look to "organization" of FLOSS activities in each country.

In addition to fields mentioned, also more things to get common information about can be added.

Denmark

Activities in the field of education:

Co-operation between these parties:

Finland

  • COSS (The Finnish Centre for Open Source Solutions)
    • For businesses mainly, over 100 company members (Nokia, Novell, IBM, Red Hat...). Responsible for a lot of free software education (via usage of the open source term), promotion, studies, governmental co-operation
  • FLUG (Finnish Linux User Group)
    • Old, stable LUG. Not too many active people, but also a good place to spread information at (mailing lists)
  • vapaasuomi.fi (”Libre Finland”)
    • Free software and content. A new community, but the first with specifically FLOSS scope instead of eg. only Linux (which is understandably popular in Finland). IRC channel #vapaakoodi @ Freenode has ca. 50 persons now. Semi-associated with FSFE (uses fsfe-fi mailing list for example).
  • Other than those three, Ubuntu Finland is Big in terms of visibility, and there are also a big Debian community, Fedora, openSUSE and Unix users communities among else, but in practice anyone with specifically FLOSS interested should (eventually) find their way to COSS (companies), FLUG (Linux specifically) or vapaasuomi.fi (mainly for individuals).

Activities in the field of education: COSS, FLUG both have activities, collections of reports from schools, cities etc.

Co-operation between these parties: Very good, people know each other at least to some extent so that there is communication flowing between each three.

Serengeti är i sin kärna en e-postlista för oss som sympatiserar med solidaritetsrörelsen och vill lära oss mer om, och diskutera, fri programvara. Vårt mål är att fler ska upptäcka fria programvara och sätta den i ett ideologiskt sammanhang. Vi hoppas att fler ska förstå värdet av att använda fria program och operativsystem och att det ska bli vanligare bland organisationer och aktivister inom de solidariska rörelserna.

Serengeti erbjuder även hostning (webbhotell) för ideella organisationer/projekt (för villkor se Serengeti).

Activities in the field of education: Serengeti förbereder en wiki i utbildningssyfte.
