Hi everyone, I've always felt that educational institutions and libraries, be they academic, public or private, have an important role to play in promoting open source technology-based tools. Re. below, is a snippet from a recent posting from CANARIE. I thought this reference and conference announcement might be of interest to those who are attempting to either understand or address the delivery of information and/or educational resources using an open source infrastructure. Have a nice weekend. Cheers, Leo ------ Forwarded Message "...an event being planned for late this Fall exploring the impact of the open source movement in education. The event is entitled the Open Source Summit. ( http://www.opensourcesummit.org/ ) There is also an interesting white paper available from the Summit web site: Open Source-Opens Learning: Why open source makes sense for education.
