Feel free to re-post this to other mailling lists.

The OSHCA Conference Programme will provide you with the opportunity to 
showcase your FOSS projects, share your FOSS experiences, FOSS 
technologies and issues in FOSS in healthcare. We have secured funding 
to help those who would otherwise not be able to attend make the trip. 
Support would cover travel and hotel accommodation at conference venue. 
The OSHCA Committee is current working out the criteria and guidelines 
to qualify for such support.

However, we would not know who are interested to come unless you tell 
us! Send an e-mail to conference at oshca.org with the following information:

For presenters and trainers:
Subject: Presentation/training.
Provide a short abstract (less than 250 words) and/or subject matter for 
training (FOSS concepts, technologies & health data interoperability)

For participants and trainees:
Subject: Participation/trainee.
Provide a one page write-up of why you should attend the OSHCA 
conference with travel and accommodation paid for you. Please also 
provide us with an estimate of your travel costs (low fare carriers if 
available) so that we can maximise the benefits to more people.
