The Seneca Open Source Symposium is a one-day event aimed at bringing together college faculty/staff from across the province to discuss common open source concerns, learn new open source technologies and to generally promote the use of open source software in both our classrooms and our labs.

Here at Seneca College, we think Open Source is a real alternative, and better in many ways, than traditional, proprietary (closed source) software. We therefore call on IT teachers/technicians from the four corners of Ontario to come to Toronto on October 25 for a one-day Open Source extravaganza. Meals are compliments of Seneca but you must make your own travel and accommodation arrangements. The symposium will include short tutorials and demonstrations along with frank discussions and exchange of ideas.

We are also looking for speakers (token gifts awarded) to prepare and present short (20 - 30 minutes) tutorials/presentations on Open Source topics of their choice.

See you on October 25th.

PS: A limited number of guest passes are available to students. - Registration is mandatory in order to obtain the pass.
