Yup, as reported on "Screenshots by Jeff Ooi":http://jeffooi.blogspot.com/, "Oon Yeoh":http://www.malaysiakini.com/transitions/ and myself will be speaking at "INFOSOC 2003":http://www.nitc.org.my/infosoc/, the signature event for the National IT Council (NITC). To be held in 21-24 June 2003, the event is sponsored by the Melaka State Government in partnership with a host of "smart partners", including "PROMUDA":http://www.promuda.com/ (of which i'm a member), and the "Malaysian Youth Council":http://www.belia.org.my/.
The proposed topic for our panel presentation is:
"Introduction to Nano-Publishing (Blogging) - Building a Strong Foundation for Self-Expression and Personal Development"
Sounds like a big deal, but it basically just means that we'll be talking on particular aspects of blogging in general and how this has an impact on the Malaysian society and youth in particular. Fun stuff, and i'm looking forward to it.
If it can be arranged, i'll try to manage a delayed webcast of the event via the Volume of Interactions: Audio. At the very least, you should be able to expect regular "semi-live" updates from Oon and myself throughout the conference.
Lastly, i've been told that "Najah":http://www.najahnasseri.org/ (a chief reason why this topic has even made it onto this year's INFOSOC agenda - well done!), is still looking for a female blogger to be a part of the panel. If you're interested, please contact her at njhnssr@yahoo.com.
