Hi all, I'm pleased to announce the 2008 edition of FOSSED (Free and Open Source Software in Education) at Governor's Academy in Byfield, MA on August 3-6, 2008. FOSSED has been in existence for 6 years providing incredible professional development opportunities for educators and techies from all over North America. The original FOSSED held each year at Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine has been a smashing success and has featured such notable FOSS celebrities as Jim McQuillan (founder of LTSP), Jon "Maddog" Hall, Warren Togami (founder of Fedora), and many more. For the past two years we've expanded FOSSED to another conference held at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). This year we're simply moving a little further south to the beautiful campus of Governors Academy in Byfield MA. http://www.thegovernorsacademy.org This year we're adding to and changing the focus of FOSSED a bit and giving developers an opportunity to come together, work together, learn and really get a chance to find out what's really going on in the world of FOSS in education. Educators and developers coming together. We're pleased to announce that Walter Bender of SugarLabs.org (read more here: http://www.openeducation.net/2008/06/03/walter-bender-discusses-sugar-labs-foundation/ ) will be one of our keynote speakers for FOSSED 2008. As the conference registrations develop we'll be inviting many more notable folks from the world of FOSS. We'd like to invite you to join us! Bring yourself...bring a team! Participate, present, sprint, or just listen and learn. We'll provide the atmosphere, the time, and the experience...all we need is YOU! We've made it easy for you to attend. One price includes EVERYTHING! Room, meals, and conference....all for one low price. $495 for on-campus and $445 for commuters 3 days of hands on learning, interaction, and more!
