We will either play some Linux videos at the end of the presentations
or in between them, all depending on the mood of the students.

The students will of course be encouraged to participate in Flossk, in
our mailing lists and projects.
Afterwards us Flossk-ies will go on our own little After-party ;)

Cause we have the schedule for now, but if we have time why not :)


Heroid for what do you want to talk ?

Yes , Heroid you are welcomed , you can make speeches to the Liceum's class leaders , when ever u make a request and wait for approval . We would gladly listen to you . We use special rooms for talks , projects and speeches at Don Bosco . But , this hasn't got to do with the conf. cause we can't escalate the Schedule .

If you and/or any of the Salesian students and teacher will send me
your comments about the conference after its conclusion, I will write
an article in English and Italian about it in my new website:
http://stop.zona-m.net

Important: I am sure that you will also report about the conference on
the FLOSSK website.

I am making this request anyway because the TARGET audiences of that
and yours website are (by my own decision) very different. On Stop I
explicitly write for people (especially parents and teachers) who have
ZERO interest in technology and do NOT want to hear about source code,
sw licenses, programming, etc... but still care about quality
education, equal opportunities and so on.

So the two articles (while linking to each other) would have different
content, resulting in much larger exposure. I would include details
and things that would be very probably uninteresting for readers of
FLOSSK and vice-versa.
I'm especially interested in non technical anecdotes related to sw
teaching and usage in the Liceum, spontaneous gut-feeling comments by
participants to the conference, this kind of things.

Ciao and keep up with the good work.
