SELF at OpenFest

On the 27th and 28th of October, the SELF speakers Georg Greve and Jonas Öberg from the Free Software Foundation Europe participated in the 5th annual OpenFest in Sofia, Bulgaria. This year, Internet Society and the SELF Project are sponsoring the realisation of the 5-th anniversary of the biggest FOSS event in Bulgaria. The OpenFest conference builds on the expanding interest in Free Software in Bulgaria and has been supported by the Bulgarian President since its first event in 2001.

The SELF project and OpenFest has worked together to spread awareness of SELF in Bulgaria, icluding two keynote presentations, featuring SELF. SELF has been presented in general as a streamed effort of the Free Software Foundation Europe, part of the activities, focused on Free Software learning mechanisms. SELF Platform has been presented also as a business initiative, a sustainable development platform, allowing long term benefits for different target groups.

Reflections on the SELF Platform Launch

Amsterdam, early Wednesday morning, September 5 2007. The Doelenzaal of the University of Amsterdam is slowly being filled with various people from education, government and business, while the organisation of the SELF project desperately tries to get rid of Mr. Murphy. The internet is still down, the projector is broken, and a somewhat confused professor bluntly runs into the room stating that he'll give a class on the history of science. Wouter Tebbens, the coordinator of SELF, replies: “Nono, we are going to talk about the future of science!”

A little later than planned the conference 'Free Software in Education' finally takes off. Arjen Kamphuis introduces the day by showing a map of Europe which demonstrates that the Netherlands are really way behind with the use of Free Software.
