- Technical - On the Technical axis, we’ll speak about the Free Software such as a scientific research object or as in technical implementations.
- Enterprises - On the Enterprises axis, we’ll speak about the Free Software used on enterprises, succesful cases, business models based on FLOSS solutions, promotion and sales, etc.
