Motivation to attend
To help convene, facilitate and keep some continuity from the first event in South Africa.
In particular: Education-out-of-the-Box, localisation of e-learning packages, collaboration tools (for collaborative learning etc.).
I also have an interest in research on ICT in education. See http://oerwiki.iiep-unesco.org/index.php?title=OER_research_agenda
FLOSS Development Areas of Interest
- Java - http://java.sun.com
- Jakarta - http://jakarta.apache.org
- XML - http://xml.apache.org
- Patterns
- Software Architecture

- Agile methodologies
- etc.
My background is varied, and in recent years I have been involved in FLOSS advocacy and working on creative ways of getting FLOSS skills out there. In the past I have had a long standing interest in software development. The skills are a little rusty, but I have some insights to share with software developers, and hope to learn from everyone present.
