Welcome!

Welcome to one of the most important Romanian IT events of 2007.

The eLiberatica Conference brings community leaders from around the world to talk about the hottest topics in FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) movement demonstrating the advantages of adopting, using and developing Open Source and Free Software solutions.

eLiberatica will be held in the spring of 2007, on 18th-19th May at Braşov, Romania. The event is organized by ROSI - the Romanian Open Source and Free Software Initiative and by Agora Media.

"We started with the belief that FLOSS can contribute to a creative, effective and constructive information technology movement in Romania and that eLiberatica will be a conference that helps to launch this movement."

Echoes about eLiberatica 2007: "Far beyond expectations!"
