XMPP Community members will have a stand at [OmniOpenCon](https://omniopencon.org/) later this year.

OmniOpenCon is an annual FOSS conference held at [Politehnica University of Bucharest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politehnica_University_of_Bucharest) in Bucharest, Romania. OmniOpenCon is free to attend, and is well linked by public transport making it very easy to reach from anywhere in the city.

Currently a lot of XMPP community presence in Europe has been within Western Europe.
Branching out to Eastern Europe will hopefully draw new members into the XMPP community and spread secure, open and decentralised messaging to more people!

We are looking for volunteers if anyone is free to attend, please contact Polarian:
