8th of March every year marked as International Women’s Day! The above funny video was found on Youtube, hope you enjoy it and drive carefully in future!

What’s Happening on 2009 International Women’s Day?

On occasion of 2009 International Women’s Day the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that the specific health-care needs of women are often ignored or insufficiently taken into account in war situations.

In the world’s least developed countries, many of which are at war, women are 300 times more likely to die in childbirth or from pregnancy-related complications than in developed countries, according to UNICEF. While armed conflicts and other violence affect entire communities, women are particularly at risk of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Because of poor security conditions or because they have no means of transportation, it is often impossible for women to reach a health-care facility so as to give birth safely.

Something to share?

The International Women’s Day website by Aurora provides a free service to women around the world wanting to share and promote their IWD activity, videos, opinions and ideas. Feel free to submit gender-related items for the site that you consider relevant and useful.

Last but not least, wish every women have a Happy, Healthy & Confidence year!

Thanks to OpenX.org, i had received the free and cool t-shirt all the way courier from UK to Malaysia, which i believe the shipping fees could be more expensive than the t-shirt and most important the whole OpenX Team sign on the thank you letter attach with my gift.

I did blog about their recent launch of free OpenX hosted solution and my post was selected and feature by the team. Although the t-shirt was different from what it show from their website (original white) but i love this shirt too because it seem fit & suitable to wear for my paintball games during weekend and not forget, will wear this shirt and attend coming BarCamp JB on 6th & 7th December, will you join me?

FOSS.my aim for making this event to be an annual that bringing together professionals and enthusiasts from Malaysia, Singapore, Asia and the rest of the world for a two day grassroots driven FOSS conference.

FOSS.my is different from other events in that they focus only on FOSS and that this conference is purely non-commercial. There will be no marketing/sales talks by vendors (sound more solid)

Instead, vendors will be encouraged to speak on the FOSS technical aspects of their projects/tools. This approach works better as it benefits all through knowledge sharing within the community.

Do explore FOSS website at FOSS.my to find out more about the event, and how you can participate as a speaker, delegate, volunteer, exhibitor or sponsor!

WHEN ?

8th and 9th November 2008 (Saturday and Sunday)

9am to 6pm.

WHERE ?

Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (TPM Campus)

Lot 6, Technology Park Malaysia (TPM)
Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur
