What is FISL

FISL is an event sponsored by Associação Software Livre (Free Software Association), a Brazilian NGO that promotes free software adoption and contribution. This will be the 9th year of FISL and the conference has grown to over 5,000 participants. It takes place every year in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande Do Sul, the most southern state of Brazil. FISL draws FOSS contributors, students, researchers, IT professionals, government officials and more.

Mozilla Workshop

Mozilla developers and contributors, as well as people looking to get involved, will have a dedicated room to hold talks and sessions. A list of sessions has been assembled, but we'd like your input on what subjects should be covered. FISL:Workshop
