OSCON 2009 (San Jose, CA - 20-24 July 2009) Call for Participation
Call closes midnight 02/03/2009 PST.
Some of the topics we hope to see for the 2009 conference program are:
* Doing more with less, the opportunities of a constrained economy
* Design and usability: tools, techniques, and success stories
* Open source in smart phones and mobile networked devices
* Cloud computing, openness in distributed services
* Parallelization, grid, and multicore technologies
* Open web, open standards, open data
* AI, machine learning, and other ways of making software smarter
than the people using it
* Open source in democracy, politics, government, and education
* Best practices for building a business model around open source
* Virtualization, appliances, and their creation and deployment
You'll be asked to include the following information for your proposal:
* Proposed title
* Overview and extended descriptions of the presentation: main
idea, sub topics, conclusion
* Suggested track
* Speaker(s): expertise and summary biography
Proposals will be considered for the following types of presentations:
* 3 hour tutorials
* 45 minute sessions
* 45 minute panel discussions
We also ask you to be clear about the experience and knowledge level
of the audience that you are targeting: novice, intermediate, or
expert. Keep in mind that we look for a balance of all three
experience levels when determining the conference schedule.
Tracks:
* Administration – open source innovations in system and network
administration
* Business – open source best practices applied within the
enterprise, legal issues and marketing strategies
* Databases – essential techniques and advanced tips in MySQL,
PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.
* Desktop Applications – GUI toolkits, synchronization and offline
caching, filling the long tail of a fully open source desktop
experience
* Design & Usability
* Emerging Topics – promising projects, proposals, and people
(everything that doesn't fit in another track)
* Java – new tools, building on OpenJDK, Harmony, etc.
* Linux – creation, use, and future direction of Linux and its
killer apps, from kernel and distros to office suites and multimedia
* Mobile – ahead-of-the-curve open telephony and mobile
technologies, people, projects, and activities pushing the boundaries
of what's possible
* People – community, users and their experience, user-centered
design, and usability, humans rather than technology or processes,
marketing as an architecture of collaboration
* Perl – (Perl Conference 12) Perl 5 and Perl 6, trends from
databases to mod_perl to Perl hacks for productivity
* PHP – (PHP Conference 8) migration, deployment, security, and
preparing for the future
* Programming – hard-core open source tools, technologies, and
techniques for elegant, quality coding
* Python – (Python 16 Conference) latest developments, Python 2.x and 3.0
* Ruby – Rails, Ruby 2.0, test, deploy, extend, and integrate
* Security – application, network, and data security, from Linux
firewalls to VoIP risks
* Web Applications – the perpetual beta model, user experience,
frameworks, scaling, testing
Have a passion to share what you know? If so, you are invited to
submit a proposal now to speak at the next OSCON.
