[school-discuss] Open Source and Education Conference - Sydney Australia Jan07

[Bryant Patten <opensource@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

	 I am organizing this year's Open Source and Education mini-conference 
at the Australian National Linux conference (linux.conf.au 2007) in 
Sydney NSW Australia.  I wanted to extend an invitation to everyone on 
this mailing list to speak at this FOSS and Education gathering.  Last 
year, we had an incredible group of speakers from all over the world 
and I am hoping we can do even better this year.  If you have ever 
wanted to travel to Sydney, this could be your chance!

	The details and call for presentations at the mini-conference can be 
viewed at:

	The general conference website is:

	Unfortunately, there is still no money available to assist with travel 
but the good news is that speakers no longer need register for the main 
conference - though you are encouraged to do so!  If you have 
recommendations for other people that I should invite, please let me 
know.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
