Sorry about the fragment in my previous post - it's supposed to say "See the "hotels" link on the web site" Cheers, Vern This is just a quick reminder that the K12 Open Minds conference is approaching. See http://www.k12openminds.org for more details - this is one of the few conferences devoted to Free and Open Source Software in K-12 education, so if that's an area of interest please come and consider presenting. There are two updates worth mentioning. First, the deadline for rooms at the conference rate of $97 a night is August 25. After that, the room rate will increase dramatically. So if you are planning to attend, booking a room now would be a good idea (see the "Hotels link on the web site). Second, we have extended the deadline for speaking proposals to Friday, August 22, so please consider submitting a talk. While all proposals are welcome, talks focussed on FOSS at the classroom level, either teaching or technical, would be welcomed. Cheers, Vern Ceder -- This time for sure! -Bullwinkle J.
