Mini-DebConf in Taiwan
The "Software Liberty Association of Taiwan"(SLAT) is featuring a mini-DebConf during ICOS 2009 – International Conference on Open Source in Taipei in September, 2009. The ICOS 2009 programme is available.
Taiwan is a beautiful country with a strong IT industry. We just have two DDs in Taiwan since DebConf9 and at least 4 other DDs will come from other countries during ICOS, so it is a great opportunity to have a mini-DebConf in Taiwan.
Please join us in Taipei on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of September, 2009. Participants may get accommodation and food sponsorship. Remember to add your name to this wiki page below if you are joining us. Please also send a separate email with your information to apply for sponsorship to Local contact.
