With this meeting we want to get the key developers of the printing-related projects together so that they ... 
... can coordinate and discuss the work on their projects, ... get important things done for which one always didn’t find the time, ... integrate the projects with each other and share, re-use and design common code, ... can meet personally (and not only via internet) and so on.

High-level languages manipulate concepts that are closer to the user and the user’s application, as opposed to low-level languages that are closer to the hardware or system software. The members of the topic "very high-level languages" will present some of these languages, either as introductory mini-courses or through applications that take advantage of the specificities of the language. We welcome all participants to discover, learn, discuss and help develop free software.
Chairmen: Marc Poinot Robert Strandh
An online game is less about publishing than providing a service; secrecy and control become a handicap when facing a serious competitor who invested in sharing and freedom. We will explore the skills and resources necessary to create a massively multi-player 3D online game.

Embedded systems are increasingly present in our lives. The embedded system community has traditionally used commercial software solutions that require royalties to be paid each time a system is sold. Over the last few years, free software is increasingly being used for embedded systems. The purpose of this session is to give the state of the art of free software for embedded systems.
