[domenico giusti]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

Dear all,

This message is to advise you that the deadline has been moved forward to
the September 28th !

You still have some days to submit your own proposal for the upcoming
GNewArchaeology workshop[1].

The event will take place on the October 13th – 14th, 2011 at the Department
of Biologia ed Evoluzione of the University of Ferrara.

» something about the workshop

The GNewArchaeology workshop is part of a cultural project promoted and
organized by the students from the University of Ferrara and funded with the
Cultural Fund of the University of Ferrara. It follows the trail of projects
(ArcheoFOSS[2]) and communities more and more numerous. In Italy (and most
of all in Public University), it's of great importance to have a good
diffusion of these kind of projects, like parts of a greater cultural
renewal.

The aim of the workshop is to create, with presentations, tutorials and
round tables, opportunities for meeting and debates about topics regarding
the use and dissemination of several free and open source software in the
public institutions and particularly in archaeological research processes.
The mornings will be devoted to an introductory approach to the FLOSS
Culture. Relations, debates, documentary’s projection, and distributions of
informative materials will be organized in collaboration with local Linux
User Group[3]. The afternoon will be more technical with talks, round-table
and tutorials about topics regarding FLOSS in archaeological research
processes.
