This is my first post to this list .. I hope this announcement is appropriate. My apologies if not.
FYI I'm one of the folks actively involved in the Sri Lankan FOSS. We're organizing a week of FOSS events in August again this year (see http://www.foss.lk/events/2006/fosssl) and the particular note below is about ApacheCon Asia.
Bye,
Sanjiva.
==================
ApacheCon Asia is the first ever Asian offering of the popular ApacheCon Conference of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). ApacheCon Asia provides an excellent opportunity to experience first-hand what ASF technologies and development communities can do for you and your enterprise.
The program consists of two technical tracks in the main conference and a large number of tutorials. In addition a "hackathon" will be held the day before the conference where attendees can interact with various Apache project developers and learn and contribute!
Priced at a very affordable level, the conference will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka from August 14th to 17th at the Trans Asia Hotel.
The complete agenda and registration information of ApacheCon Asia 2006 are available at http://asia.apachecon.com/
Register by Friday, August 4th and receive a 10% early bird discount!

We look forward to seeing you in Colombo!
