Free software camp in Asia brings together non-profits and grassroots hackers 

BANGALORE, India -- In late January, India's technology mecca Bangalore is to 
be the venue for an international 'camp' intended to promote free and open 
source software (FOSS) among civil society. Asia Source, as the 'tech camp' is 
called, is being held from January 28 to February 4, 2005 and "hopes to bring 
together over a hundred people from 20 countries to increase the use and 
awareness of FOSS amongst the non-profit sector in South and South East Asia."

Asia Source is supported by the Association for Progressive Communications 
(APC) together with Aspiration. Sponsors are HIVOS, the Open Society Institute, 
and the International Open Source Network (IOSN). 

Prior to this event, similar 'source' events have taken place in South East 
Europe, Southern Africa and are planned in 2005 in Western Africa.
