Title: RE: [school-discuss] Open Formats vs Industry Standard formats

Greeting fellow travellers,

I thought this conference may be of interest, particularly to folk in Australia.  The focus is fairly broad looking at Schools, Higher Ed, VET & industry.  While the focus isn't around Open Source I am keen to see fair smattering of Open Source zealots at the conference because I think we need to start raising the mainstream profile of Open Source solutions to our shared Ed Tech problems.
