I am pleased to announce
that, in 2012, the Romanian annual event of “Informatica
la Castel” (“Informatics at the Castle”) will be
held in August 27th - September 1st.
Both international and Romanian speakers and guests are kindly
invited to submit their registration for participation.
For the summer school,
the main focus is to bring together the various Romanian
and international GNU/Linux communities (computer geeks and
programmers), as well as wannabe GNU/Linux
users, newcomers, students, teachers, public clerks, Romanian
officials, lawyers, doctors, etc. Every person that uses a
computer in day-to-day life (for professional or personal matters) is
invited to consider the benefits of Free
Software, to improve his/hers computer skills, to learn from
more experienced users and to make new friends, by meeting
interesting and enthusiastic people in a friendly environment. Last
but not least, teachers are encouraged to use more Free Software in
class, especially as Virtual
Learning Environments – such as http://edu.moodle.ro
Moodle platform, kindly offered to
the Romanian
schools (and supported locally) by Moodle
Romania.
One of the keys of
success for the school is the natural landscape of the place where
the proceedings are held. Very close from the Hungarian border, the
18th century Cernovici
Castle of Macea,
as well as the surrounding „Pavel
Covaci” Botanical Garden offer a relaxing, student camp-like
environment, with Transylvanian
local traditions, very pleasant for fine academic talks, long
walks and making new friends.
You may see other
informations, including a few pictures from the 2011 edition,
here.
We are anxious to meet
you, both Linux beginners or computer gurus !
