On next June 15-26 2007, FORMASI Indonesia will held an Advance Training on Free and Open Source Software, for enhancing the capability of the IT@Coops IT Specialists and Trainers. The training itself, will try to modified the concept of Source Camp (means that the participants of the training will be camped on the training site for the whole training).

The training will have 3 major subjects,
# Linux Operating System and Open Office
# Web Development using CMS
# Simple Database Application using PHP and MySQL

All will be in FOSS base, so for the next 12 days, the participants should say goodbye to the proprietary software.

Participants will come from several NGOs and Cooperatives, and we hope after the training, they will be the pioneers to start the new FOSS era on their organization.

The training will be held on FORMASI Indonesia Training Center, and for the facilitators, PT Bajau Escorindo will help us to enhance the knowledge of the IT Specialists and Trainers. This training supported by the IT@Coops project, organized by FORMASI Indonesia, AWCF (Asian Women in Co-operative Development Forum), InWent (Capacity Building International, Germany), and BMZ (Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Germany).
