Dear all,
This message is to advise you that the deadline has been moved forward to the September 28th !
You still have some days to submit your own proposal for the upcoming GNewArchaeology workshop[1].
The
event will take place on the October 13th – 14th, 2011 at the
Department of Biologia ed Evoluzione of the University of Ferrara.
» something about the workshop
The GNewArchaeology workshop
is part of a cultural project promoted and organized by the students
from the University of Ferrara and funded with the Cultural Fund of the
University of Ferrara. It follows the trail of projects (ArcheoFOSS[2])
and communities more and more numerous. In Italy (and most of all in
Public University), it's of great importance to have a good diffusion
of these kind of projects, like parts of a greater cultural renewal.
The aim of the workshop is to create, with presentations, tutorials
and round tables, opportunities for meeting and debates about topics
regarding the use and dissemination of several free and open source
software in the public institutions and particularly in archaeological
research processes.
The mornings will be devoted to an introductory approach to the FLOSS
Culture. Relations, debates, documentary’s projection, and
distributions of informative materials will be organized in
collaboration with local Linux User Group[3]. The afternoon will be
more technical with talks, round-table and tutorials about topics
regarding FLOSS in archaeological research processes.
