Hello Python developers,

I would like to invite you to join our call for papers to this
conference in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The International Free Software Forum today issued a call for papers
ahead of its next annual meeting. Proposals are due by March 7. 

Billed as one of the largest Free Software events in the world, this
will be the fifth meeting of the International Free Software Forum.
Over the last four years, these events have seen more than 4,000 people
meet to discuss software ownership, intellectual property issues and so
on. Last years event attracted delegates from as far afield as Russia,
Sweden, The Netherlands, USA, France and Paraguay. 

Speakers at previous events include HP's Bdale Garbee, Ximian's Miguel
de Icaza, Linux International's Jon 'maddog' Hall, MySQL's David Axmark,
FSF's Richard Stallman and TimotyNey, LTSP's Jim McQuillan. 

The organisation was set up to promote awareness of free software in
developing economies, such as Brasil.
