Welcome to Seneca's 5th Annual

Free Software and Open Source Symposium

October 26-27th, 2006 - 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
York University Campus, Toronto

The Symposium is a two-day event aimed at bringing together educators, developers and other interested parties to discuss common free software and open source issues, learn new technologies and to promote the use of free and open source software. At Seneca College, we think free and open source software are real alternatives.

The deadline for presentation proposals for this year's symposium is September 1.

Oct 19th: We've hit capacity, so registration is now closed. We are, however, allowing a limited number of walk-ins on a first-come first-served basis for the symposium on Friday. Please go to the registration desk after 9 am if you wish to find out if there are spaces available. The registration desk will be located at the south end of the SEQ building.

There are a few spaces left in "Eclipse Plugin Development" and "Building an OSCAR cluster". If you are interested in either of these workshops on Thursday, Oct 26th, please email robert.boyczuk@senecac.on.ca about the availability of seats. Recordings of the 2006 presentations are now available! The recordings are .avi files and require divx. We will also be converting the recordings and posting them in other formats, including mpeg, in the next few days. The link to the presentations is http://cs.senecac.on.ca/fsoss/2006/recordings/. We also have pics: http://cs.senecac.on.ca/fsoss/2006/pics/. Enjoy!

Symposium note: There was a small glitch with the "burn-o-matic". If you burned a disk and found that you didn't get what you expected, please contact chris.tyler@senecac.on.ca for a replacement.
