 11:00 Release of new version of Pantoto Communities
 ---------------------------------------------------
    Pantoto Communities software is designed for communities to manage 
community knowledge and is developed based on the needs of some of the 
communities, small enterprises and NGOs who have been using Pantoto. 
(See http://servelots.com and http://janastu.org).

This release includes: significant internal redesign, user interface and 
usability improvements (customizability of skins, new default skin, easy 
content editing, simplification of building custom forms for user 
input), protection against spam bots, RSS feeds and feed aggregation.

 11.30 FLOSS development of products/services for local needs
 ------------------------------------------------------------
    DISCUSSION: If you are interested in or if you are working on 
developing FLOSS products/services to meet primarily local needs (not 
necessarily for global market, but more for local communities, NGOs, 
researchers, etc), please come and share your interests, ideas and work. 
We are hoping that the discussions would lead to a better appreciation 
of the importance and the need to cater to local issues, spark new ideas 
and encourage greater participation and collaboration. People who work 
on Pantoto, NewsRack, Mapunity.org, and integration of Indic and VoIP 
tools have confirmed their attendance.
