Subject: [Canberra-pm] OSDC Paper Proposals due tomorrow!
Message-ID: <44B308A8.2000405@perltraining.com.au>

G'day everyone,

This is a final reminder that OSDC papers are due tomorrow.  Our conference is
nothing without speakers, so I encourage you all to get your proposals in as
soon as possible!

	http://www.osdc.com.au/papers/cfp06.html

For those who've never submitted a proposal before, or spoken at at conference:
fear not!  A proposal is just a couple of paragraphs about what you think you
might like to say.  If your talk's direction changes somewhat when you start
writing it, that's okay!  Further, we encourage you to give your talk(s) to your
local user groups (for example OSDClub) before the conference.  This will give
you some great practice time and give us the chance to give you some feedback.

If you have any friends or family members who might also want to present, please
feel free to pass this invitation on.  Likewise if you know of any related user
groups who haven't heard from us, please invite them to participate.  Our goal
is to make this conference truly representative of Australia's amazing Open
Source development community!

We look forward to seeing your paper submission.

	Jacinta

PS:  If you're interested in being part of the paper selection committee, please
contact Richard, our Programme Chair:  richard <at> osdc.com.au

Subject: [Canberra-pm] Dinner on Friday night (after conference): 28th July
	2006
Message-ID: <44C6D3D9.1090300@perltraining.com.au>

G'day everyone,

Sorry about the late notice.

The SAGE-AU conference is happening in Canberra this week, and Friday night is
free.  I'd like to invite you all to join us for a friendly dinner.  Suggestions
from the locals are very welcome.

In preference it would be somewhere within walking distance from the Chifley on
Northbourne that does acceptable vegetarian food.  It need not actually be a
vegetarian venue, I'd just rather it not be a steak house, for example.  Failing
any suggestions, I'm happy to make a reservation at the local Pancake Parlour.

I'm suggesting dinner at about 7:30pm, but it's flexible.  If you have an
evening flight, or if the speaker party is going to go on longer, the time can move.

Reply direct to me if you're interested, or have places to suggest, and I'll
send a final update on Friday.

All the best,

	Jacinta
