Op zaterdag 1 juni heeft de NLLGG leuke sessies in petto! Ze gaan namelijk in samenwerking met het Nederlandse Linux Magazine een gamestoernooi houden, uiteraard met Open Source spellen. Het gaat om de spellen MegaGlest, SuperTuxKart en Xonotic. Er zal dus flink gestreden worden! Wil je ook meedoen, schrijf je dan in, zodat ze ongeveer kunnen inschatten hoeveel mensen ze kunnen verwachten (http://www.nllgg.nl/bijeenkomst/20130601).

Two days filled with 34 talks on subjects ranging from Open Source in Education, System Administration to Software Development. In the hallways 3D printers were on show and the central space harboured Open Source projects. On Sunday there were workshops on git and debian packaging.

Like every year there was a Social Event, where speakers, visitors and developers can talk over a beer and something to eat. The evening was a big success and many interesting talks where held.

The dutch railways are doing extensive maintenance (http://www.ns.nl/werktrajecten/) this weekend. Trajectories to and from Utrecht (Nijmegen - 's Hertogenbosch, Utrecht CS - 's Hertogenbosch - Eindhoven) are affected. They will deploy busses, but visitors to T-DOSE should expect longer travel times.

On Saturday 27 October the 7th T-DOSE conference will be opened by
Lennart Poettering with a keynote. Lennart is well known for his
developments on PulseAudio and Systemd (a Sys V init replacements). He
has a fresh look on todays issues and comes up with surprising solutions.

In cooperation with 'Open Source Onderwijs" (Open Source Education) an
entire track of lectures around open source usage in Education will be
given on Saturday 27th October.

T-DOSE is truly the meeting point for various projects and communities in the Netherlands. Visitors interested in Open Source, software and hardware engineers are represented. As an example during both days 'a walk in workshop' with Open Source hardware is held in the central hall, but also a complete track about using Open Source in Education on Saturday. It is the place to be on the last weekend of October!
