> During Summer Source (http://www.tacticaltech.org/summersource) we
> got to know three amazing people from Tajikistan: Asomiddin Atoev,
> Kamol Obidov and Talat Numanov. They were very excited about
> transferring to their home country all the FOSS knowledge they gained
> in Croatia. When they returned to Tajikistan, they did very well in
> creating a linux training centre and advocating for FOSS on all
> possible levels. We saw Talat again at Asia Source
> (http://www.tacticaltech.org/asiasource) and during the final plenary
> session he promised that he would organise a Source Event in
> Dushanbe. When we met again in Tajikistan four months later Talat,
> Aso and Kamol gathered their energy and experiences and planned FOSS
> Road - Central Asian Camp on Free Software Migration inviting
> Tactical Tech to co-organise the event in Dushanbe.

> This workshop - which extends to Tajikistan's neighbouring countries -
> is organized for those who are interested in the utilization of Free

> canyon near Dushanbe - the capital of the country.

> The overall goal of this initiative is to promote utilization of FOSS
