Looks like there will be strong representations from the US
universities. Based on the "Sharing the Future" Joint Initiative of UNDP
Pavilion activiies, MIT and Harvard are presenting with briefing
sessions on the MIT100$ laptop and workshop on Roadmap for Open ICT
Ecosystems. Which activities are you participating in, Mary? I'm also
looking closely at the scheduling of the different activities to choose
an appropriate day and time to meet. Any suggestions from those who will
be in Tunis? My suggestion is perhaps on the 16th (time to be decided
later?) when we have sort of settled a bit? There is a common facility
at the Pavilion (1307.1) called *"Coffee Point: *Providing a meeting
point for the participants and visitors and an opportunity for exploring
new encounters" which sounds ideal :)
I've been booked into the Hotel Khereddine Pacha, 2-4 Khereddine Pacha
Avenue, Tunis, Tel +216 71 788 211.
See you there Mary. Anyone else going to be there?

Hi!
It's almost 2 years since we last annnouced on this list about
meeting
up of those who were attending WSIS Geneva Phase. I will be
attending
the WSIS Tunis Phase from 13th November till 20th November. I am
wondering if anyone else from this list is going to be there so
that we
can meet?
This year appears to have more parallel activities on discussing
open
source. Health MDGs also feature strongly. In order to achieve the
targets of the MDGs, we needeffective tools and I wonder if this
summit
can provide the opportune timing to discuss the ?revival of OSHCA.
We
need an open source healthcare platform to move the MDGs' agenda.
Since last week, I had discussed with Brian Bray the transfer of
OSHCA.org to OSHCA if we agree to start the process of reviving
OSHCA
and he has agreed to this.
I haven't scheduled a definitive date and time for this meeting
and I
would be happy to take the lead to organise this and carry it
forward,
if there is support for the idea. My posting this is to gauge the
response to this idea. You can also e-mail me privately. I will be
contactable at the "Sharing the Future" Pavilion No: 1307.1
