All of these. The technical presentations looked at some of the open source 
projects & tools being developed to support e-learning in higher education. 
Although developed in house by various universities to help ensure 
interoperability of content, one of the messages was the more general 
applicability of these tools - I certainly saw some potential uses for my 
local community work. I will be doing a write up of the event for d-SY 
shortly & we hope to put most of the presentations on-line.
