Not much in English I am afraid.

You could Google "Candidacy for the board: Anne Østergaard" 

and

as I have kindly been invited to "Autour du Libre" in Brest.

Here is my biography:

and my abstract:


Anne Østergaard 

"Autour du Libre 2006"

Abstract:

"The fast growing role of technology in higher education, in national,
and local government agencies, the health care sector, private
enterprise; society as a whole, calls for a deeper awareness of the
impact of Libre software - in areas of learning, creativity, and
innovation in our global knowledge based economy.

The presentation will mention the MoLOS project, some case stories, and
give a brief explanation on where we are in Europe today.

Libre software service suppliers are now asking for persons with the
right kind of FLOSS business understanding and specialised
qualifications.

Understanding Libre software will give a deeper understanding of
all software- which will result in candidates with competitive
collaboration- and flexibility skills."

I interested in teaching about the legal aspects of the Internet and ICT
like data protection, copyright, software patents, licenses, open
standards, e- commerce, business models etc. etc.  

Best wishes
