About the Topic
“You are a student. What could you possibly accomplish?”
SITCON stands for Students' Information Technology Conference, originated in 2012 by students from various FLOSS communities. It all started from a simple idea: to hold a conference of the students, by the students, for the students. It's the stepping portal toward the open source world, the honored stage of home-brew projects and researches, and the intersection where newcomers and skilled developers collide and sparkle.
This session would cover the development of SITCON, risks and difficulties throughout events, and also tips on holding a community on your own.
