Scott Leslie has announced the availability of travel scholarships for the Open Education 2009 conference, located in Vancouver on Aug. 12-14. Applicants are required to write a blog post indicating what they would contribute to the conference. From the Leslie’s blog post:
I should also note that the deadlines for getting the secured hotel room rates are fast approaching, and a gentle reminder that we will have limited space for the (included in the reg fee) Barbeque-to-end-all-Barbeques on the Wednesday night, so if you want to come, getting your conference registration in as soon as possible will make that entirely more likely.
Also, David Wiley has announced the sponsors of the conference.
