I would like to invite you to submit a paper and do a talk at our conference. This conference is a grassroots style conference designed by developers for developers. We're planning to cover Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP and Open Source operating systems. If you'd like us to cover something else as well that is Open Source themed, please feel free.

Cheers, Stephen From jarich at perltraining.com.au Thu Jun 25 22:01:07 2009 From: jarich at perltraining.com.au (Jacinta Richardson) Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:01:07 +1000 Subject: [Brisbane-pm] 4 days left until OSDC CFP closes (30th June) Message-ID: <4A445613.5060808@perltraining.com.au> G'day folk, Last year there was a terribly low number of Perl-related talks submitted to OSDC. Less than 20, I think, and probably barely more than 10 distinct speakers. Considering that us Perl folk started this conference, this was a shock! Don't let it happen again! Submit your talk idea now and come up and visit sunny Brisbane. Speakers get free entry, a seat at the conference dinner, and praise and adoration from the wonderful attendees (actual results may vary). This year the submission process is easy. Just send your awesome proposal idea to papers at osdc.com.au. For more details read the CFP first at http://2009.osdc.com.au/call-for-papers They only need 200 words (plus some stuff about you), so don't delay! Let's give the papers committee some great Perl content! All the best, Jacinta -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ | Jacinta Richardson | `6_ 6 ) `-.
