---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "O'Reilly Conferences" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Join us at EuroOSCON and/or OSCON in 2006 Save the dates--and send in your speaking proposals--for: OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention July 24-28 in Portland, Oregon http://conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/ and EuroOSCON, the O'Reilly European Open Source Convention September 18-21 in Brussels, Belgium http://conferences.oreilly.com/eurooscon/ The Calls for Participation for both OSCON and EuroOSCON are now open, so send us your presentation proposal/s--and tell your friends and colleagues. February 13 is the speaking proposal deadline for OSCON; you have until March 6 to submit proposals for EuroOSCON. Never has free and open source technology been so important to the computing industry. It's rocking a lot of boats and, as our initial list of topics illustrates, is finding its way into unexpected places. Let's support and expand that trend! For both conventions, we're looking for sessions and tutorials on platforms and applications around: - Multimedia including voice (VoIP) and video - AI including spam-busting, classification, clustering, and data mining - Collaboration including email, calendars, RSS, OPML, mashups, IM, presence, and session initialization - Project best practices including governance, starting a project, and managing communities - Microsoft Windows-based open source projects including .NET, Mono, and regular C/C++/Visual Basic Windows apps - Enterprise Java techniques including integration, testing, and scalable deployment solutions - Linux kernel skills for sysadmins including virtualization, tuning, and device drivers - Device hacking including iPods, Nintendo, PSP, XBox 360, and beyond - Design including CSS, GUI, and user experience (XP) - Entrepreneurial topics including management for techies, how to go into business for yourself, and business models that work - Security including hardening, hacking, root kits (Sony and otherwise), and intrusion detection/cleanup - Fun subjects with no immediate commercial application including retro computing, games, and BitTorrent EuroOSCON co-chairs Nat Torkington and Nikolaj Nyholm would also like to consider proposals for EuroOSCON that focus on the specific needs of the European FLOSS community, particularly policy and government roles. We received some excellent feedback after last year's EuroOSCON that will help us build an even more focused, relevant program addressing issues critical to the professional open source community this year. OSCON and EuroOSCON are where coders, sys admins, entrepreneurs, and business people working in free and open source software gather to share ideas, discover code, find solutions, and connect face to face. Even if you're not interested in participating as a speaker, we hope you'll come be a part of the conversation.
