The “Software Liberty Association of Taiwan” (SLAT) is featuring a mini-DebConf during ICOS 2009 (International Conference on Open Source in Taipei), in September 2009.
It is the first mini-DebConf in Taiwan, and it would possibly become the second Asia mini-DebConf after the first mini-Debconf held in Beijing on 2005, if DDs from China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong join as well.
Participants may get accommodation and food sponsorship. Remember to add your name to this wiki page if you are joining us. You also can find all the information about the event in that wiki page.
Join us in Taipei on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of September 2009!
