various schools that will help out.

This is important for our new event designed for new people : We are
going to have a digital bootcamp at Innovations Lab Kosovo from Sept
4-6 from 16:00 to 19:00, anyone who has no experience welcome. We will
give you training in Linux, Open Source tools for graphic design,

conference Sept 7 and the day after Sept 10 we will have a barcamp

the environment will be more personal, and we can have a nice relaxed
learning days together with less time pressure.

if you need a place to sleep for the conference, sign up on
couchsurfing.org, we are not going to sponsor anyone who does not try

talk.

Anyone who is good at drupal is needed for helping us setup a nice
calender and event registration system, we want to import the lanyrd
events into our site and make it available for rating and
registration.
