conference speaker

May 2009

Invited as a speaker to present at eLiberatica 2009, a conference on open source technology in Bucharest, Romania.

I spoke about OSS in education, having used open source tools and frameworks (Moodle, Joomla, Perl, Linux, PHP, MySQL, Postgres, etc.) to build and launch three learning management systems (LMSes) for tens of thousands of North American schools over the past decade.

The gentleman in the red shirt is David Axmark, co-founder of MySQL. Later, Monty Widenius spoke about MySQL and OSS.
