Marketing Team/Events/Sugarcamp Bolzano 2009

= SugarCamp Bolzano 2009 =

Event Details
The FreeSoftwareWeek 2009 will be held from the 7th to 13th November 2009 in Bolzano, Italy. As part of free software week the TIS will host a Sugarcamp. A GNOME Hackfest will happen during that week as well. The camp fits quite well in our release cycle (0.88 planning/hacking) and having the GNOME Hackfest next door will hopefully create nice synergies. The FreeSoftwareWeek will end with the SFScon2009 the annual Free Software conference in South Tyrol.
