An internet discussion on "Virtual Forum on Free and Open Source Software" (FOSS) is being organized by the International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) in response to the interest expressed during the first discussion forum /Virtual universities and e-learning Policy issues – What are they? and Whose are they?/ associated with the IIEP study on the virtual university and e-learning. At the conclusion of the first forum in February 2004, many participants asked IIEP to maintain its support for the community built around the topic of e-learning. The objective of this second forum is to support information exchange and reflection upon the potential of free and open source software for e-learning and to consider the pros and cons and its applicability for developing countries.
The forum will take place from 1-25 June 2004 and will be organized in two sessions.
