[Openstds] Updated IGF Rio program available - call for workshops

[Fouad Riaz Bajwa]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to enquire whether its possible for me to submit a proposal for 
conducting a workshop titled "ICT Access fo the Next One Billion People 
on the Planet" that will introduce various methods through which more 
people in both the developing as well as developed world countries will 
bring one billion people online globally in the next 3 years so that 
impacts the concept of open production, ipr, recognition of the openness 
of the system and the possibilty to contribute back to this system. The 
idea is open to any support and partnership to collectively conduct this 
workshop, it covers open standards for connectivity, alternate forms of 
IPR and production and finally the alternative hardware technology that 
will actually make this possible?

When you have around one billion people joining the internet revolution 
and knowledge economies, it means a much more serious insight into what 
will the impact be. Your thoughts?

Best Regards.
Fouad Bajwa
