Asia Source II aims to build the skills and networks of those in the region who are working in the non-governmental organization (NGO) and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sectors. The event will bring together about professionals from the more technical to the more content-oriented to share knowledge and skills among "those who know technology" and "those who need technology".

This event is being organized by UNDP-IOSN (United Nations Development Programmes - International Open Source Network). Asia Source II is an eight day gathering bringing together nearly 100 NGO and SME information and technology support professionals working at the local level across South Asia and South East Asia.

Participants will have a range of practical and hands-on sessions aimed at increasing the use of FOSS [0] amongst the NGO and SME in the region. The intention is to move beyond conceptual discussions of the benefits of FOSS into practical skill sharing between those working with NGOs.
