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.

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.
