CAcert - The Community CA
 | CAcert is a community driven, non-commercial Certificate Authority - Root CA - that issues digital certificates to the it's web of trust community members for free.
CAcert's goal is to promote awareness and education on computer security through the use of encryption, specifically with the X.509 family of standards, but not excluding PGP. Areas of certificate use
For CAcert assurance at least one official and still valid identity document with photo - ID card, passport or additionaly driver license - is must.
Cacert hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, das Bewusstsein und Wissen zum sicheren Umgang mit Computern zu fördern, auch durch Anwendung von Verschlüsselung, insbesondere mit den X.509 Standards, ohne jedoch PGP auszuschliessen. Anwendungen der Zertifikate
Zum Prüfen der Identität am CAcert-Stand wird mindestens ein gültiges, amtliches Ausweisdokument mit Foto - Identitätskarte, Reisepass oder zusätzlich Führerausweis - benötigt.

collectd
 | collectd is a daemon which collects system performance statistics periodically and provides mechanisms to transfer and store the values in a variety of ways, for example in RRD files. The collected information can be used to find current performance bottlenecks (performance analysis) and predict future system load (capacity planning). The collected data includes CPU and memory usage, network and disk I/O, temperatures, E-mail statistics, USV data, and many more.

coreboot+flashrom
 | flashrom and coreboot are sister projects and will share one booth.
coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called payload. With this separation of hardware initialization and later boot logic, coreboot can scale from specialized applications run directly from firmware, operating systems in flash, and custom bootloaders to implementations of firmware standards like PCBIOS and EFI without having to carry features not necessary in the target application, reducing the amount of code and flash space required. coreboot currently supports 222 different mainboards. flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It's often used to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various programmer devices. flashrom is extremely portable and fully supports DOS, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X. Partial support for other operating systems (Windows etc.) is available as well. It can be executed in a normal running system without the need for reboots, works well on machines without keyboard or monitor, and can be run over the network via SSH. flashrom currently supports more than 225 flash chips, 128 chipsets, 19 PCI devices, 3 USB devices and all external programmers which use the serprog protocol.

Debian Project
 | Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux and the FreeBSD kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux or GNU/kFrreeBSD.
Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 25.000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. There will be a talk about Debian's youngest official child, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
Debian ist mehr als nur ein Betriebssystem: Es enthält mehr als 25'00 Pakete, vorkompilierte Software in einfach zu installierenden Paketen. Es wird einen Vortrag über Debians jüngstes offizielles Kind Debian GNU/kFreeBSD geben.

GOsa²
 | GOsa² provides a powerful GPL'ed framework for managing accounts and systems in LDAP databases. Using GOsa² allows system administrators to easily manage users and groups, fat and thin clients, applications, phones and faxes, mail distribution lists and many other parameters.
In conjunction with FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) and OPSI (Windows Installations), GOsa² allows the highly automated installation of preconfigured systems. GOsa² therefore provides a single, LDAP-based point of administration for large and small environments, thus making
the administration of users and systems and all related parameters manageable and easy.

LUGS - Linux Users Group Switzerland
 | The Linux Users Group Switzerland (LUGS) is a Zürich based computer club, focussed on the use of free and open sourced software, which includes all flavours of Linux, BSDs and other free operating systems. Primary goal however is to cultivate the friendship among the members by holding periodic meetings as well as the planning of other activities that are mostly, but not necessarily computer related. (E.g. visiting of other OSS events, anime watching, bicycle tours...) Besides the club itself, we'd also like to show two projects that have their roots in the LUGS. One being Symlink, a slashdot-like german newsticker and the Hackerfunk, a swiss-german radioshow that broadcasts monthly on Radio LoRa in the region of Zürich.

|
Openstreetmap.org
 | OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways.

Perl
 | Perl - Programmiersprache
We want to present some Open Source solutions written/using Perl. Furthermore we want to show new and shiny things happening in the Perl development. Even though Perl exists for a long time already, new things happen to both the language itself and its libraries. CPAN is the central archive for Perl libraries and as there are about 20,000 libraries you can find a library for nearly every job you have to do. Perl ist eine freie, dynamische und mächtige Programmiersprache, die sehr viel Anwendung im Bereich Textverarbeitung, Systemadministration, Webentwicklung und vieles mehr findet. Wir wollen einige Open Source Lösungen zeigen, die mit Perl umgesetzt sind und Infos zu aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Programmiersprache geben. Auch wenn Perl schon lange existiert, gibt es immer wieder Neuerungen in der Sprache und in den freien Bibliotheken. CPAN ist ein zentrales Archiv für Perl-Bibliotheken und mit rund 20.000 Bibliotheken ist dort für (fast) jeden Anwendungsbereich etwas zu finden.

PostgreSQL Project
 | PostgreSQL is a powerful, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, is fully ACID compliant, has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages).

sidux
 | sidux is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and Debian's most modern branch (called "sid") with 24,000+ free open source applications.
Unlike many other widely known Linux distributions, sidux offers a rolling release. Basically this means that a dist-upgrade brings the system up to the newest available version in Debian sid. Reinstallation of a new release is therefore not necessary, thus one can enjoy a system which is up-to-date with the diversity of new and improved software. By using the Debian packet infrastructure (dpkg and apt-get), a sidux user is able to install any available Debian packages easily. Additionally sidux provides programs which help simplify the administration of the operating
system, for example, a program to configure network devices.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen gängigen Distributionen ist sidux eine "Rolling-Release" Distribution. Grob erklärt bedeutet das, dass ein lokales Update der Distribution das Betriebssystem auf die neueste verfügbare Version bringt. Neuinstallationen bei einem neuen Release sind damit nicht nötig. Somit lässt sich auf einfache Art und Weise ein System tagesaktuell betreiben und die Vielfalt an ständig neuer und verbesserter Software genießen. Durch die Verwendung der Debian-Paketinfrastruktur können sidux User alle unter Debian verfügbaren Pakete auf einfache Art und Weise installieren. Zudem bringt sidux einige Programme mit, welche die tägliche Arbeit mit einem Betriebssystem erleichtern, unter anderen zum Beispiel ein Programm zur Konfiguration von Netzwerkkarten. sidux richtet sich an technisch interessierte und neugierige Nutzer, die Spaß an aktueller Software haben.
