Sorry. The comment on javascript should read:
The project will seek to allow many design features currently accomplished with javascript, e.g., picture zoom, with PERL to improve security.

>> and the North America.
>>
>> We are planning the activities of translation for the coming months and

>>
>> I'll subscribed to your mailing list and invite local group members to

>>> I'd like to introduce myself to you. I'm Marieke Guy and I work for

>>>
>>> As the ambassador for Canada you'll know that the Open Knowledge

>>> aligns well with action around open development and sustainability.
>>>
>>> As part of our work we have set up the Open Knowledge FoundationOpen
>>> Education Working Group <http://education.okfn.org>. The plan is bring
>>> together people working in different areas of open education: OERs,
>>> open data, policy, learning and teaching etc. to find overlaps. So for

>>> this potentially could be a key area of interest for open data
>>> enthusiasts - this could lead to joint activities. The plan isn't to
>>> replace any existing groups but to work with them.
>>>
>>> The Working Group is only just getting off the ground and a key
>>> activity for me is building a community and getting know people
>>> working in this area, not just in the UK but in Europe and beyond. One
>>> of our first activities is theOpen Education Handbook
>>> <http://education.okfn.org/handbook/>. We have also just started a
>>> series looking at open education around the world and sharing stories
>>> from different countries. We've now had 5 posts and it would be great

>>>
>>> It would also be fantastic to see you join our mailing list
>>> <http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-education>and be involved
>>> in some of the conversations we are starting to have.
