The theme of this meeting was the management of technologies in the context of developing countries, and in the light of recent developments concerning especially open source software and applications.

Speakers from various countries debated in English and in French over the importance of changing the rules concerning library management systems, as well as related implications.

Results show that open source software might be a solution, although some conditions apply.
