HI Siranush and Seiti, Its a pleasure to be here and i hope i get to meet you guys in Hyberdaad (sp) .We did a paper on Multi-lingualism in cyberspace with a perspective of developing countries. If you'd like i could share it with you.

Dear Seiiti, good question about the paper and it was somehow lessons learned for everyone. As that was the First summer school on IG, fellows were not asked to present any paper, we were in the process of learning as much as possible, as we really had highly qualified and professional faculty members and for all fellows it was the first experience. But during evening times it was suggested that fellows may come up with brief introduction of their country's situation with Internet issues (not mandatory). And I was one of the fellows, who had a chance to do so, in a very social way, very briefly presented the situation about Armenia (as much as I was aware of :). Many fellows did that. And during those evening meetings a suggestion came up for the next Summer school, to have separate time for fellows to conduct presentations on some key issues on IG in their respective countries (which was already used during the Second Summer School this year, and which is great).

I think we can use this space for sharing also lessons learned and maybe there are diplo people here, who presented some papers in different IG related conferences and can share with all of us here to start discussions, what do you think?

Excellent, Siranush!

Did you present any paper?

In that case you could Start Discussion and copy-paste it so others could have easy access to it and make comments!

I am the alumna of the First Summer School in IG in Meissen, Germany 2007, and my participation was financially supported by Diplo Foundation, as a result of my active involvement in ICGBP 207 online course. A lot of info is posted in the official site: http://www.euro-ssig.eu/ .
