ist da schon jemand aus dem oekonux-umfeld dabei?
wenn ja, lohnt sich direkt auch eine Ankündigung auf der Hauptliste.

JA, wenn solche Ideen um sich greifen -dann kann was weiter gehen!!

Staun, staun. Wie immer machen die Deutschen die Theorie, während
die anderen die wirkliche Revolution machen ;-)

parallel tracks for implementers and developers with numerous shared
sessions, from open talk to open practice, as well as a project flea
market (an exhibition of free and open source software, tools and
projects for NGOs).<br>

For both developers and implementers, the camp will offer a chance to
meet and work on practical issues with potential project partners.<br>

In concert with a rich program, we will set aside time on the
beautiful island of Vis, Croatia for relaxation and recreation. The
gathering will serve as an oasis of sorts, providing pause and
perspective in tandem with inspiration and informal interaction. You
will stay in barracks at a camp site on the island, and excursions
beyond the camp grounds will offer fresh vistas and opportunities to
meet new friends.>Tactical Technology Collective Amsterdam and

<b>Participants<br>

</b>The camp will host a total of sixty participants doing work in
central and eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Caucuses, and Central
Asia. We will also have a few select participants from Asia and
Africa. We will work in a multi-cultural environment, with
participants ranging, so far, from India, Indonesia, Singapore,
Southern Africa, Poland, Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Mongolia.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+3" color="#000000"><br>
<br>
<br>
The group will be composed of two distinct sets of participants:
those<i> implementers</i> (non-profit ICT consultants, NGO technology
service providers, NGO-friendly ISP staff, in-house IT staff) tasked
with specifying and deploying technology solutions in NGO's, which
would benefit from F/OSS training, and<i> developers</i> working to
create new and better free and open source software platforms,
applications, and infrastructure for NGO's.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="+3" color="#000000"><br>
<br>
<br>
Ideally participants will already be familiar with Internet, free and
open software (F/OSS) and NGOs, but we are also looking to grow the
community working on these issues, recruiting those with knowledge and
passion to bolster the success of the event.<br>
<br>

<b>Agenda<br>

The aim of the program for implementers is to set up a NGOs

free and open source software environment, and to be able to
demonstrate the advantages of the use of free and open source software
for civil-society organisations. Topics offered for this group will
include process models for analysis and implementation, selecting and
recommending toolsets, network options and backend solutions; hands-on
implementation and use of different GNU/Linux distributions, internet
and desktop tools; finding developers and resources; support and
training for non-profits; case studies and success stories.<br>
<br>
Topics offered for developers will include technical skillshares;
building developer communities around projects; collaborating with
dispersed teams; funding and revenue generation; working with a
non-profit user community; designing with users in mind; promoting
projects to a user base; planning and managing a free and open source
software project for non-profits; development cycle and business
models; case studies and success stories.<br>
<br>
A substantial portion of the gathering will be devoted to shared
sessions bringing implementers and developers together for discussion,
brainstorming, practice, alliance building and visioning for the
future.<br>
<br>
In addition, there will be free-form skillshares and a showcase in
open access, content, services and tools. Evening programs will
include music, lectures, discussions, screenings, and open
content.<br>
