The 2020 edition of the esLibre congress on free technologies will be held at URJC on June 5 and 6. OfiLibre will coordinate the organization, with the collaboration of the ETSII and ETSIT of our University.

esLibre is a gathering of people interested in free technologies, focused on sharing knowledge and experience around them. In the next edition, we also hope to reach out to the community interested in Free Culture.

In a certain sense, esLibre seeks to recover the spirit of the Hispalinux Congresses held about 20 years ago, when free technologies were still a novelty.

esLibre 2020 is aimed at anyone interested in free technologies and intends to offer content and activities that are interesting both for experts in these topics and for people who are just starting to approach them.

The congress will be structured as follows:

  • Plenary sessions. Presentations of special relevance, aimed at all attendees. Organized by the general congress organization, partly through an open call and partly by invitation. During their celebration there will be no other parallel sessions or scheduled workshops.

  • Parallel sessions. Specialized presentations, grouped thematically into “rooms” (devrooms). Some of these rooms may be proposed by the general organization and organized by it (perhaps co-organized with other institutions), but in general they will be the result of an open “call for rooms,” to which groups wishing to organize them will apply. The groups selected after this call will be responsible (normally through an open call, but also in some cases by invitation) for organizing the program of each room and managing them. There will be up to a maximum of 10, possibly between 6 and 8 simultaneous parallel sessions.

  • Workshops. Up to a maximum of 4 (but depending on the campus where it is held, perhaps only one or two) simultaneous workshops.

  • Community tables. Initially, up to a maximum of 8 (although it could probably be expanded). Each table would be dedicated to a project or a group.

During the month of January we expect to publish the open calls for contributions to the congress program.
