' F/OSS days' is one of the largest F/OSS event in Turkey. It is organized by Istanbul Bilgi University.  Some of the tOSSad partners will participate the event and collabarate with local organizers towards F/OSS adoption disseminations. An excerpt from organization web site is here:

"Free Software; a movement started in 1980´s is showing its effects on the whole software market. Companies -from the biggest to the smallest- are taking their parts, some adapting to this new practice, some fighting agaist it, but it sure has its effects as freedom takes its toll.

Peru, Israel, Spain and Germany are just few of the countries which have decided that closed source, proprietary softwares, are neither affordable, nor reliable -especially concerning security. Thus they have taken giant steps to make the transition to Open Source systems.

In such a world, there are lots of opportunities for Turkey, such as to become a software developer and implementor country rather than a software importer. Or to raise the amount of computer literate people by setting up thousands of public computer labs using free softwares such as GNU/Linux OS on low-cost legacy computers.

Now all we need is to have people, especially young people using, developing and deploying Free/Open Source Softwares on free operating systems, with no licence fees, no cumbersome copyright restrictions or slavery enduser agreements.

In order to accomplish this goal, Bilgi University is hosting the Free Software and Open Source Days. For two days time, we´ll be having tutorial sessions, lectures, discussions and chats about Free Software, Open Source with Ian Murdock, Branden Robinson and various free software pioneers from Europe."
