Dates

When do we want FSCONS 2011? Around November sounds sensible, but we need to make sure it doesn't conflict with so much else.

We are leaning towards the date 11/11/11 and unless we hear strong reasons against that date it will soon be officially accepted as the date for FSCONS 2011.

Please put stuff that could compete with FSCONS here, so we get a view of what dates to avoid...

Crew

Who wants to help out with the organisation? People needed for everything from drupal development or marketing to moving furniture.

In fact, the conference is depending heavily on participation from the community and voluntary co-operation. FSCONS is the sum of what we do together.

  • Accessibility - Are societies accessible to every human, regardless of visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities? What role can technology play, in increasing accessibility? Are on-line services less or more accessible than physical? What about culture?
  • Education - Challenges, possibilities and lessons learned
  • Journalism - how has journalism evolved with the www?
  • Future of devices - Will everybody have access to the world's collected knowledge and wisdom in their pockets, or will devices be more targeted towards entertainment?
