Friday (November 20) in Munich and on Monday (November 23) in Leipzig , we had the next set of OpenSourceMeetups – organized by Mozilla and Openoffice!

Munich:

Started in this Summer we had now already our 4^th Open Source Meetup in Munich and this time with about 50 ! People attending.

We  had some very interesting Talks from Cacert, x2go (if you do not already know this Project – check it out), Openoffice.org and of   course a talk from myself about Mozilla !

I talked about the Mozilla Project and gave a little Demo about Firefox 3.6 and Lightweight Themes/ Personas and got the Impression that a lot of People love the new Firefox 3.6 Features and using this Beta for testing now !

Beside this Talks there were a lot of room for discussions and questions and I already got a lot of very interesting user feedback.

Its great to see how the Open Source Meetups have developed – from a Idea created on Train Rikde with Florian to a now very great running Event !

Leipzig !

Also on Monday I joined the first Open-Source-Meetup. A group of people from Leipzig organized the first Meetup and it great to see the Idea of the Open Source Meetups Spreading !

Also 4 Talks – about DTP applications on Linux – OpenStreemap, OpenOffice.org and Mozilla

Open Source Meetups will continue next year and we will change our Munich Events to a monthly event ! Also stay tuned for more exciting news about the Event !

And als little reminder Open Source Projects live with the Community and so people support your favorite Open Source Project (like Mozilla) and as example join the Mozilla Community with downloading and Testing the Firefox 3.6 Beta 4 !

My Slides (in German) from the Talk in Munich and Leipzig is available here and Pictures from Leipzig and Munich !
