A full programme awaited the FOSSFA-delegates upon their arrival in Berlin - a week of meetings, conferences, trade fairs and receptions all around the topic of Free and Open Source.

In ten days five FOSSFA-members will embark on a study tour to Berlin Germany where a week full of appointments, events and receptions all on the topic Open Source awaits them.

During the week of the 22^nd of June - 26^th of June Berlin will become the Open Source Hub of Europe: The annual business oriented Linux Day, the academic Berlin Open congress, and LPI's 10^th anniversary are only some of the Open Source events taking place in Berlins capital.

This years e-Learning Africa took place in Dakar, Senegal from the 27^th - 29^th of May. Athough this report is both belated and short it is worth mentioning the outstanding contributions FOSSFA-representatives made during this conference – the largest on ICT and Education in Africa.

FOSSFA and OSIWA's FOSS for West Africa (FOSSWAY) project is set to invest in FOSS research in West Africa.  In the recently published Call for Tender both organisations are awarding a research contract up to the tune of 65 000 US dollars for a Study to be carried out in five West African Countries.
