Sharing of knowledge, freedom of information, community spirit,
exchange of ideas, technological progress: every year the Libre
Software Meeting (LSM) follows the Libre philosophy.

RMLL/LSM are non-commercial series of conferences, round tables
discussions and practical workshops based on Libre/Free Software and
its uses. Its aim is to provide a platform for Libre/Free Software
users, developers and stakeholders. Access to LSM is free of charge
and open to everyone. The conference will be held in Brussels from
July 6 to July 11, 2013. We hereby announce the opportunity to submit
papers for selection by the technical review committee for the
RMLL/LSM 2013.

Each year the accessibility, autonomy and dependency management
workshop is held as part of this broader meeting.

The LSM committee aims to disseminate and improve Libre projects
in the health and accessibility domains through this workshop. To
better target the various exchanges that will be taking place, the
programme committee of the health & accessibility workshop proposes
several kinds of meetings:

- "Solution" meetings, with conferences  and round tables to present
solutions dedicated to previous areas.
- "State of the art" conferences between practitioners, developers,
scientists and users to discuss about what exists according to the
specific needs of users, what works well or a little less well,
to talk about approaches...
- "Technical" presentations between developers and scientists. This
will allow initiation of exchanges between communities that do not
necessarily have the opportunity to meet and will maybe lead to new
collaborations or projects.

Finally, a workshop area will be available to try out and exchange
tools presented by their authors or by seasoned users of those
solutions.

Previous years the health workshop received(for example) the following
projects: Debian-med, OsiriX, FreeMedForms, GDCM, Chewing Word, ITK,
VTK/VES, CamITK, FW4SPL, CreaTools, WEASIS, ORCA, VISTA, OpenEMR, ...
Information on health workshops from 2 previous annual meetings are
available on :
- http://schedule2012.rmll.info/-Sante-et-Accessibilite-?lang=en
- http://2011.rmll.info/-Sante-accessibilite-et-handicap-?lang=en

You will be able to attend conferences on other related issues
such as "System Administration" (like Nagios, GLPI, Cfengine,
...), "Development" (like NoSQL, Lucene, GCC, ...), "Law" (like
OpenData, FSF, ...), "Internet" (WebGL, Jabber, Typo3, ...), ...

Please feel free to share this information with others people who
may be interested. We welcome your participation and input and look
forward for a valuable meeting.
