Events

GOSLING (Getting Open Source Logic INto Governments) is a voluntary, informal learning and knowledge-sharing community of practice, involving civil servants and other citizens who actively assist the engagement of free/libre open source methods and software solutions in government operations. Participation in GOSLING involves individuals in their personal capacities, such that activities are driven by the research, interests and views of the members, which may or may not reflect the official stances of the organizations in which they may work. For further information, see www.goslingcommunity.org and www.communities-collectivites.gc.ca and finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ikmf_figs/.

Participants in the National Capital Region have been meeting every Friday at 4:30. Feel free to join the gaggle.

OISILLON (Options Innovatrices et Synergiques pour l'Introduction du Logiciel Libre dans les Organisations Nationales) se veut une communauté apprenante de partage du savoir sur une base informelle et bénévole, qui regroupe des fonctionnaires et des citoyens désireux de favoriser l'adoption de méthodes et de solutions logiciels libres dans les administrations publiques. Les personnes qui participent dans OISILLON le font en leur nom propre, de sorte que les activités sont le reflet de leurs préoccupations, de leurs intérêts et de leurs point de vue personnels sans pour autant que ceux-ci coincident avec les politiques de leur employeur en matière de logiciels libres.

Pour plus d'information, consultez www.goslingcommunity.org et www.communities-collectivites.gc.ca et finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/ikmf_figs/. Les participants de la Région de la Capitale nationale se rencontrent tous les vendredis, à 4h30. Tous sont les bienvenus.

Andrew Clunis, Joseph Potvin, and the OLPC

On 9 March 2007, Andrew Clunis of Ottawa brought a prototype "One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC) laptop to the weekly gaggle at the Parliament Pub. Andrew leads the "Develop" component, a simple Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the OLPC project. Read more about this on Andrew's blog. Looking on is Joseph Potvin, co-coordinator of GOSLING. (Photo by Lothar Wegner)
