We are happy to announce the first details of the FOSDEM 2011 program!

As keynote speakers, we are very proud to host Eben Moglen, Jonathan Corbet and Chris Lattner:

• Eben Moglen will speak about "Why Political Liberty Depends on Software Freedom More Than Ever",
• Jonathan Corbet will speak about "How kernel development goes wrong and why you should be a part of it anyway",
• and Chris Lattner closes off this list with a keynote on Clang and the LLVM compiler infrastructure.

On top of that, there will be 6 fantastic main tracks, succinctly named 'Browsing', 'Cloud', 'Frameworks', 'Languages', 'Office' and 'System'.
