About "Open Source Conference":
The Regional Open Source Conference- Central Asia (ROSCCA) 2011 is a consultation of the Central Asian Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) user groups covering variety of topics around FOSS technologies, discussing public policy and fostering regional collaboration. The Conference presents research and industry papers, presentations, tutorials, thematic sessions, panels, hands-on training workshops and project demonstrations. The goals of the Conference are: Creating awareness among professionals, policy and decision makers, business leaders, technology experts, consumers and the general public on the most recent technological advancements in FOSS; Sharing updates on national, regional, and international FOSS related initiatives; Presenting country reports on FOSS developments, plans, programs, and the challenges and opportunities; Introducing innovative Free/Open Source technologies through thematic workshops and a technology exhibition; Training individuals on the up-to-date FOSS technologies through hands-on training workshops; Discussing policy issues and recommending reforms through a policy review and debate session; and Facilitating regional coordination and trade and educational cooperation in FOSS in the Central Asia. ROSCCA 2011 is organized by Open Source Afghanistan (OSA), a FOSS user-group in the country, and National ICT Alliance of Afghanistan (NICTAA), a consortium of the Afghan ICT players, in partnership with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) of Afghanistan and with support of and partnership with the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) office in Kabul. Based on the International Open Source Network (IOSN), Open Source activities in Asian and the Pacific are “sporadic and disconnected”. Lack of networking translates into various different innovators undertaking their own projects without tapping into expertise that are already available, or applications that are already developed. ROSCCA 2011 intends to address the digital gap existing in our region often caused by lack of awareness, access to knowledge and resources, and the high cost of software and connectivity. The region needs to look for solutions and alternatives to address the problems and tackle the digital gap, known as the divide between those having knowledge of and access to technology means and those who do not. The Conference is introducing Open Source as a platform helping to address the awareness, access, and connectivity issues as it represents an alternative to purchasing expensive software from proprietary software vendors. FOSS also provides an exciting opportunity for developers and students of computing to use the existing software licenses and build on them and reproduce the software products of which they can be owners to sell them or distribute them free of cost. This in turn helps develop their local businesses, economies and societies. Open Source software is usually available free of cost, making it very accessible that helps minimize the ‘digital divide’ in many instances. Various people and organizations across the world are taking advantage of Open Source software today. This First Regional Open Source Conference- Central Asia will lay a foundation for continued information, knowledge, and experience sharing, networking, regional cooperation, and initiating innovative plans and programs in Central Asia.
