[IAEP] [bytesforall_readers] Call for Papers & Panels Proposals from the World Civic Youth Forum 2009, Korea -May 5-8, 2009

[Edward Cherlin]

Perhaps some of our South Korean student members would be interested
in presenting papers at this conference, about the roles of one-to-one
computing and Free Software in international development. Anybody else
who can get there, too, of course.

I can suggest some more specific topics.
