Each participant will give a brief presentation on their respective projects, followed by an informal panel/discussion period where we’ll explore more in depth the issues, challenges, and opportunities emerging in the field of education.
This group began as the Chrome OS developers and is transforming into alt.os.liberated a user group for people who operate independent of os. I took the name from alt.comp.os and added a modern and international element.

We're interested in alternative operating systems and new uses of mainstream operating systems. Our very next meeting will be a multi-os roundup featuring Moblin, OSX ChromeOS, Ubuntu Netbook remix, Windows 7 and CrunchBang Linux (#!).
