<html><head></head><body><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>Just wanted to share a bit of news. Maddy Hagen, Michele McColgan and Kris Navratil and I attended the "All Things Open" conference in Raleigh NC in October to present on FLOSS Desktops for Kids (images attached).</div><div><br></div><div>The session was a workshop, with the first half focusing on the program (what it is and how it is run) and the second half hands-on, where the attendees broke up into teams and went through the curriculum. I think it was a great success and we had a lot of interest from the crowd. I am going to tweet these out via @FLOSSDesktops (<a href="https://twitter.com/FLOSSDesktops">https://twitter.com/FLOSSDesktops</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>I think it also highlights the value of sharing the program with others to drive adoption. If you're interested in attending a local event to help further the program, please let me know. The OSI would love to help in any way we can.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally I would love to hear about any updates from you all about how your year is going so far. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Patrick</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span><pre>-- <br></pre><div> || | | || | || || | || | ||| | ||| </div><div><br></div><div>Patrick Masson</div><div>General Manager & Director, Open Source Initiative</div><div>855 El Camino Real, Ste 13A, #270</div><div>Palo Alto, CA 94301</div><div>United States</div><div>Office: (415) 857-5398</div><div>Mobile: (970) 4MASSON</div><div>Freenode: OSIMasson</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:masson@opensource.org">masson@opensource.org</a></div><div>Website: <a href="http://www.opensource.org">www.opensource.org</a></div></span></div></body></html>
