BETT 2010 - How to get involved

Open Source Schools will have a significant presence at BETT this year, and we'd be delighted to have as many community members as possible involved with our activities. There are full details at http://opensourceschools.org.uk/bett2010

Along with friends from Open Forum Europe, we're hosting the Open Source Café on stand L20. We'll be running this as a relaxed, rolling programme of barcamp style presentations and discussions, and there are a few slots left on the programme for anyone who'd like to take this opportunity to share their experience and expertise, or just to facilitate a discussion about an aspect of open source. If you'd like to get involved, simply edit the wiki at http://opensourceschools.org.uk/node/14108/edit

If you'd rather not run a session yourself, please have a glance at the programme (http://opensourceschools.org.uk/opensourcecafemenu.html) and pop along to join in the conversation, or just stop by the stand to say Hi and grab a cup of rather good coffee. If you're able to offer half a day of your time at BETT to help out with hosting the stand, that would be brilliant, and again there's space to sign up for this on the wiki.

We'd also like to keep a list of all the open source on offer at BETT; I've started a wiki at http://opensourceschools.org.uk/opensourceatbett2010.html

We also have an official BETT seminar, 15:45-16:30 on Wednesday 13th January, on 'open source and creative computing', with presentations on Scratch and Greenfoot. Ideally, we'd like to include some examples of PHP coding in this too, so if you're working in a school and have done some Moodle (or other web-app) development work, possibly involving your pupils, it would be really good to be able to add this in to the seminar - do get in touch if you can help, or know of someone who can.
