Jason, there is lunch but you have to travel to the host venue. ;-) Good to see this and other sensibly priced events for a change. My eyes roll when the money count hits the three figure mark for a single day.<br><br>Thanks for sharing this Donna, I enjoyed listening to the discussion amongst the keynotes. As one technician who was listening in put it, an international perspective and forward thinking group. :-)<br>
<br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/8 Jason Hando <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jhando@gmail.com">jhando@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi Folks,<br><br>Thanks for the invite Donna to OpenEdge via edulists. It's a great idea to run such an event.<br><br>I was a little surprised that an open education forum costs $49... shame it isn't free as in lunch ;-)<br>
<br>Hope it goes well for you.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Jason<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 1:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:moodle-request@edulists.com.au" target="_blank">moodle-request@edulists.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Howdy folks,<br>

Open Edge is Friday this week.<br>
That's the day after tomorrow! ;)<br>

<br>
Apologies for the massive cross-post on this - but a couple of people<br>
just told me they hadn't heard about it, or had forgotten it was on, so<br>
this is announcement and reminder in one! Registration is still open -<br>
so if you can get yourself to SCEGGS in Sydney we'd very much love to<br>
see you there. The program has also been updated and finalised<br>

<br>
Registration is just $49 and you can register and pay online or select<br>
cheque or cash on the day.<br>
