We finally could put together a first version, still a draft, of the programme for the IPID 5th Annual ICT4D Conference 2010.
We definitely tried not to have parallel sessions, so the schedule might look a little bit tight: we expect to adjust it within human limits in the following weeks.
On the other hand, there are several workshops pending confirmation, so we have decided to, at this moment, put the ones we had confirmed together at the end, with the idea to distribute them along the two days as confirmation comes.
So, here’s the draft:
