On Monday August 18, we announced the final version of the schedule of the JRSL. Unlike other events that CaFeLUG has organised, this is the first time the programme is entirely filled with presentations extracted only from the selection of CFCh (Call For Papers).

There are about 120 lectures of all kinds on the agenda: programming, administration, applications, for newbies, on internal parts of the kernel, more philosophical discussions on Free Software, etc.
