The IFIP December 2009 newsletter is now available at http://www.ifip.org/images/stories/ifip/public/Newsletter/2009to2010/new.... The cover article is about WITFOR 2009, "ICT for Sustainable Development".

We've learned that the AIS registration system has a technical glitch that is showing the OASIS workshop as full, and participants are not currently able to register for the workshop as a result. AIS is working on solving this problem, but rest assured that the workshop is not full and we welcome your participation in Phoenix next month! An announcement will be posted on this site when workshop registration becomes available and we expect to be able to take late registrations at the door, although pre-registration is preferred.

Sustainable Development Programme (SDP) is an IFIP (International Federation For Information Processing) funded programme. The aim is to offer young IT professionals and students the opportunity of building up their knowledge of developing countries and development issues. The programme aims at promoting internationalization of education by providing young people with the opportunity of establishing contacts with institutions and organizations.
