Malaysia National Computer Confederation - Open Source Special Interest Group
to Run Open Source Workshop Again in this February !

This time MNCC-OSSIG OSS101 will be hosted by
Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT)
on the 19 to 20 February 2003.

MNCC-OSSIG has conducted a series of Open Source Awareness Programs in year 2002.
The most recent event was being the OSS101 Appreciation Workshop(tm) for School and
NGOs in December 2002.

The workshop was well received and covered in the Star InTech (26th December 2002),
INTAN IMATEC launched (6th Jan 2003) and NSTP Computime (13th Jan 2003).

The goal of OSS101 is to create awareness of the benefits and to promote the usage of
Open Source Software (OSS). It was designed: -
1. Organizations (incl. Gov. departments) who are interested to learn about Open Source Software and
its application in an office environment;
2. As a introductory course for those who do not have experience using Linux, but intend to pursue for Certification Programs;
3. Those who intend to evaluate the feasibility to implement Open Source Software in their organizations.

There were many enquiries about the availability of such program from other States.
Based on these enquiries and seeing the need to create more awareness about OSS,
MNCC-OSSIG is taking OSS101 NATIONWIDE.

The FIRST OSS101 for year 2003 will be hosted by APIIT, followed by other Institutions
nationwide soon (watch out for announcement from www.MNCC.com.my)

This time OSS101 will be conducted in two parts: -
· Part 1 (Day 1 Morning) will be a FREE PUBLIC SEMINAR and demo of open source software;
· Part 2 (Day 1 Afternoon and Day 2) will be a PAID HANDS-ON WORKSHOP (RM 50 per pax).

You can choose to come for just the PUBLIC SEMINAR without attending the Hands-on Workshop.
However, we encourage you to register for the workshop to have a better understanding of OSS.

The Advanced Technology Studies Centre (atSC) will be giving out CompTia Linux+ Exam
Vouchers worth RM 4000 for selected participants registered for the Hands On Workshop !
