Short answer: a multitude. But first, link please? I have found the
first three conferences, but nothing for a2k4 in 2009, and no Web site
for the program as a whole. Do you know where the next conference will
be, and when?

Let's see...village electricity and Internet, international
microfinance, software, textbooks, curricula, teacher training,
economics of Free Software, a framework for analyzing obstacles
(corruption, rule of law, lack of resources, terms of trade, lack of
coordination among programs...), recording cultures and
languages...Yup. I would say we have something for anyone who has an
interest.
