Description: There are a number of Social Technology projects underway in the

Greater Toronto Area as well as a number of individuals who are working on international Social Technology projects.  All of these projects have an Open Source component.  In conjunction with Open Source Week Toronto, we will hold an event which will enable dialogue

and collaboration between projects and individuals.

 

Format: Presentations 9 am-12:30 pm, Breakout groups 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. The Breakout groups will be formed in a BarCamp style "unconference" where the topics are determined by the people present. 

 

For the unconference, we welcome any proposals on the following topics and related topics:

1) Providing computers to nonprofits

2) Setting up computer centres in low income apartment complexes

3) Providing Linux Ubuntu desktops and training to individuals

4) Public access hot spots in public spaces such as parks

5) Free wireless networks

6) International projects such as the World Computer Exchange, and One

Laptop Per Child.

7) Design for people with disabilities
