Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancellation of almost all events in worldwide and Turkey caused a gap on free software related events that are hold in April-May. Free Software Association in Turkey (Özgür Yazılım Derneği) will organize ÖzgürKon with the experience from organizing one of the biggest free software conferences in the world, LibrePlanet 2020 remotely.
ÖzgürKon will be held internationally because it is a "événement sans frontières". The conference's languages are English and Turkish. We are planning two parallel tracks, but depending on demands tracks may be increased or decreased.
Talks that covering main topics of the event which may be interested for a larger part of community. It takes one session including question-answer part. They will be broadcasted live.
Talks that covering specific subtopics which are for people with special interest in them. It takes half session including question-answer part. They will be broadcasted live.
It is enlightening talks that do not exceed 6:30 minutes about any subject that the participants wish to record and broadcast in the conference by their own means. The lightning talks will be broadcasted from the tape. There will be no question-answer sections. In a session, 8 lightning talks will be broadcasted.
These are the sessions that will be broadcasted during the event, selected from a system where the participants can present their opinions and vote on the subject. There are no subject restrictions. If ze gets enough votes, the speaker can play a ukulele and sing a session. A maximum of 8 freestyle speeches will be broadcasted. The difference between lightning talks and free style is that the sessions will go through the approval of the community, not the approval of the event committee.
