[Dspace-general] Register for the 9th Sakai conf. in Paris

[Michele Kimpton]

Sakai community conferences have emerged as high-energy occasions for  
extended face-to-face interactions between our community of designers,  
developers, pedagogists, faculty, students, user support specialists,  
system administrators, and educational technology managers. Sakai  
conferences provide a welcoming and informative venue for all all  
those interested in seeing what the Sakai community and software are  
all about.

The 2008 Sakai Community Conference will be held in Paris, France from  
Tuesday July 1 through Thursday July 3, with pre-conference sessions  
and activities on Monday, 30 June. All meetings and conference  
sessions will be held at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in the  
5th arrondissement--a spectacular location in the heart of one of the  
world's great cities. The ever popular Sakai demonstrations will take  
place on Wednesday evening, July 2nd, at the conference hotel, the  
Marriott Rive Gauche, which is located nearby.  A special reception,  
hosted by the Executive Director of the Sakai Foundation, will be held  
at the Marriott on Monday evening for all Sakai newcomers. If you're  
relatively new to Sakai this is a great way to learn about how to get  
the most out of the conference.

Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technologies at  
the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, will deliver the  
keynote address. Featured speakers include Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of  
Giunti Labs and Chair of the European Learning Industry Group, James  
Dalziel of Macquarie University and creator of LAMS, Wendy Mackay with  
INRIA, Futurs at University Paris-Sud. With more than 140 sessions and  
workshops it promises to be another terrific event.

Please visit the conference website (https://sakai.educonference.com/paris/index.php 
) to see the preliminary schedule, register for the conference and  
secure a room at the conference hotel (discounts available through  
June 10).  We look forward to seeing you in Paris!
