Free Java Meeting

Let's meet in Brussels

We're looking to hold the next meeting of the Free/Libre Open Source Software Java developers in Brussels during FOSDEM, February 6th and 7th 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.

In the past several years there were two main events around libre java for the GNU/Linux platform. The Fosdem "Escape the Java Trap" event organized by the GNU Classpath community, coordinating technical issues around implementing core libraries, compilers, tools and free runtimes. And "DevJam", a GNU/Linux distro packaging conference organized by Debian, but meant as a cross-distribution coordination meeting to set common guidelines for packaging java programs and libraries.
