WSIS Forum 2010 open consultation: Call for participation 18-01-2010 (Paris) UNESCO, together with ITU, UNCTAD and UNDP, is organizing an open consultation for the upcoming World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2010. All individuals, networks and organizations interested in this issue are invited to participate in the three-fold process, consisting of an online discussion, a questionnaire and a review meeting. 2010 is a turning point towards the achievement of the WSIS goals by 2015. This year's Forum, which will be held in Geneva (Switzerland) from 10 to 14 May 2010, is an important opportunity to review the progress made in the WSIS implementation during the last five years and to reconsider strategies for the remaining five years. Following the outcomes of the 2009 WSIS Action Line Facilitators Meeting on 22 May 2009, as well as several exchanges among WSIS stakeholders, an open consultation, focusing on the themes of the 2010 Forum, has been set up. The process will be carried out in three phases: * An online multi-stakeholder consultation is taking place on the online WSIS Community platform until 24 January. Stakeholders are invited to express and exchange their ideas in order to generate possible themes and potential speakers for the 2010 Forum. To join this discussion, please click here http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/announcements/view/15586 . * Stakeholders can also submit their official contributions, by 5 February, through an online questionnaire [ http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/questionnaire/inde… ] or by sending a query to: wsis[at]itu.int. * All submitted comments will be examined during the Final Review Meeting, which will take place at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva on 10 February. To register for this meeting please click here http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/registrationconsul… . Remote participation will also be possible via webcast, the link to which will shortly be available on the Forum's website http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/ . The WSIS Forum builds upon the tradition of the annual WSIS May meetings. The 2009 Forum attracted more than 400 participants representing governments, civil society/NGOs, private sector and intergovernmental organizations from around the world. The new format of the 2010 meeting is the result of last year's open consultations with all WSIS stakeholders. Detailed information on the preparatory process is available on the official website of the WSIS Forum 2010. Please take the opportunity to co-shape the agenda of the Forum with your ideas.

Koha v 3.0 Appliance or Live CD
by savitra sirohi 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

All, A big barrier to evaluation and use of Koha has been the difficult installation process and the need for some Linux expertise. We have developed a software appliance (or Live CD) for Koha v 3.0, that removes this barrier. The CD can be used in several ways: - to try Koha directly from the CD - to test if your hardware is compatible with Linux/Koha - to install on your machine The appliance is built on openSUSE Linux 11.2 and Koha v 3.02. The appliance includes a full featured and ready to run Koha, including: - zebra search server - email notices - fines calculation and more.. User manuals and other resources are also packaged in the CD. We will offer free but limited support via a mailing list: koha-appliance-osslabs(a)googlegroups.com. Those interested in the appliance can order a copy on our website, you will need to pay postage costs only. More information on this appliance is available here: http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha-appliance.html. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
