[gull-annonces] EuroBSDCon 2005 in Basel, Switzerland, Program and Registration

[Marc SCHAEFER]

The EuroBSDCon 2005 organizers are pleased to announce that
the conference program and schedule are now defined and
online registration on our website is now open.

This year's EuroBSDCon will take place from Nov. 25 till Nov.
27. at the University of Basel, Switzerland.

The conference will start with the now traditional tutorial
day on Friday, offering a selection of five very interesting
tutorials aimed at developers, system administrators and
BSD users in general.

On Saturday and Sunday the technical conference with three
plenary sessions and twenty high-level talks will give an
overview on the current state of the art.

A social event, dubbed "The Night of the Living Dead", on
Saturday night in one of Basel's well-known cellars near the
conference venue, will round-up the program with a dinner and
bars and give attendees the possibility to discuss in a
relaxed atmosphere.

The conference organizers and the program committee with all
speakers and tutors are looking forward to meet you at
EuroBSDCon 2005.

Please register at our website http://www.eurobsdcon.org/.
