FLOSSed in Bkk, 2009, The first Bangkok Open Source Schools Conference
to be held in October of 2009. Presently searching for a venue (place
and exact time) (Link to Event on Calendar). Likely to be held in
downtown Bangkok although a day trip away is possible for an
attractive environment with good facilities. Looking for wireless,
decent food, accomodations, meeting rooms, etc. at an affordable price.

We will write soon when we nail down the venue and pricing.

Interested or want to help? Let us know now!

     *****     What's in a Name?     *****

Have you got a great idea for naming this conference? We'll give free
registration to whomever comes up with the winning name!
     *****     Call for Workshop Presenters     *****

Could you give a workshop of interest to:

    * teachers (at your level)?
    * school administrators?
    * technology "facilitators"?
    * system administrators?
    * "computing" teachers?

If so, please fill out the proposal form! We're eager to hear from you!

Current ideas:
     *****     Rationale     *****

Many of you have been using Free and/or Open Source tools including
Linux, Apache, Sendmail, and open source languages (Perl, PHP, Python,
Java, etc. for years); many more in the k-12/13 educational world have
not. We envision a small to medium sized group made up of a) newcomers
looking for support in their first steps; b) users of various levels
willing to share and interested in going deeper or learning of new
possibilities; c) experienced system admins, programmers and managers
able to see the whole spectrum of possibilities and offer guidance to
others in open discussions with colleague-peers.


     *****     Theme           *****

"Open Source; Open Mind"


     *****     Audience        *****

   1. Teachers and School administrators in international and local schools.
   2. Higher ed representatives willing to lend/share knowledge and
   expertise.
   3. Commercial representatives offering relevant products and services.


     *****     Method          *****

   1. Keynotes
   2. Hands-on workshops
   3. Seminar-style "round-table" discussions
