</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(11,83,148)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;color:rgb(11,83,148)">Well, to sum-up ... We're targeting most the younger population ... students (small enterprises are most welcomed too). Most of the presentations are geared towards the expansion of Linux & making it an alternative to the traditional Windows desktop. We are also trying to inspire students to get involve in the global open source community by picking up projects & helping in. This could involve development, graphic design, content writing or advocacy. This way we can put Mauritius in the forefront as an open source contributor. <br>
