Workshop and presentations abstract
PDFReaders:
PDFReaders.org is a campaign launched by the Free Software Foundation in late 2008. It originated in Berlin's fellowship group and has attracted wider attention, including news coverage in major (German) online media and even some print-media. We will talk about interesting details of the PDFReaders-Campaign and also speak about campaign work for Software Freedom in general.
FTF:
The Freedom Task Force is the FSFE's legal department. Why should a fellow be concerned about legal stuff? Well, maybe you don't need to be concerned, but there are some things you should know. This talk will illustrate best practices for Free Software projects around legal and licensing issues and show what the FTF and FSFE can do for you.
Open PGP:
This workshop is all about the best-known Fellowship feature: the Fellowship cryptocard. It will show how to basically set up GnuPG for use with an OpenPGP smartcard. These smartcards provide many cool features: Not only will you be able to carry your GnuPG secret with you without having to store it on an unsecure device like a USB stick, but you can also use it for authentication via SSH or on your local desktop. Of course this workshop is not only for FSFE's Fellows, but for everyone who is interested in data security. If you have any questions on how to use an OpenPGP smartcard, please participate!

Karsten Gerloff - Free Software in Europe: Taking Stock of the Public Sector
Free Software is conquering the public sector. Public bodies across Europe use Free Software in different ways. Some see it merely as a way of saving money. But many others are making good use of the strategic independence that Free Software provides. Some even use Free Software as a tool for regional development. This talk provides an overview of the different ways in which European public bodies and education authorities use Free Software to their own advantage, and to the advantage of their citizens.
Any suggestions regarding workshop's content are welcomed. Please note that this schedule may have minnor changes during the next weeks. Also, check the FSCONS schedule for more information. We are looking forward to seeing you in Göteborg!
