benefit of anyone reading this list who'd be interested in submitting
something for this symposium.

Dear Computing Educator,

We invite you to submit a short position statement (1-2 pages) or
poster abstract (up to 2 pages) to the 2nd annual HFOSS Symposium
(HFOSS 2010) on "Growing the HFOSS Community."  November 9th, just
over a week away, is the deadline for submissions.

This one-day symposium will be held in Milwaukee, WI on March, 10th,
2010 as a pre-conference activity in conjunction with the 2010 SIGCSE
conference (http://www.sigcse.org/sigcse2010/ ). It is sponsored by
the NSF-funded Humanitarian FOSS Project (http://hfoss.org).

This year’s symposium focuses on how to expand participation in the
Humanitarian FOSS movement so that it reaches many more students,
colleges, secondary schools, and software industry representatives
throughout the nation.  The symposium is designed to be highly
interactive, taking place entirely in plenary session.  It will be
keynoted by Hal Abelson, Class of 1922 Professor of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, founding director of Creative
Commons, Public Knowledge, and the Free Software Foundation. The
symposium will feature invited speakers from industry and academia, an
open-ended round-table discussion, and a panel of CS curriculum
experts.

The symposium deadlines are as follows:

November 9, 2009 - Poster abstracts and position statements due
December 14, 2009 - Author acceptance/rejection notification
January 15, 2010 - Invited participants registration deadline
February 5, 2010 - Final (open) registration deadline
