Individuals and companies interested in making presentations, giving a tutorial, or participating in panel discussions are invited to submit proposals. SUBJECT MATTER Because the Peer-to-Peer and Web Services spaces are still relatively unformed, we're casting the net widely. Any innovative application that harnesses the power of distributed computers, users, services, or devices, and the technical, business, or legal issues raised by such applications, are appropriate subjects for this conference. While the conference will consist of various tracks informed by the subject matter of the submissions, presentations are expected to lean more toward the technical or business/legal side. Technical presentations should be of interest to developers and administrators of Internet applications and infrastructure. Business/legal focused presentations should appeal to entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, technical strategists, lawmakers and law-breakers. PROPOSALS Proposed talks should be 20, 30, or 60 minutes long. If you are interested in participating in or moderating panel discussions or otherwise contributing to the conference, please do make this known along with your preferred technical or business slant. If you have an idea for a particularly provocative group of panelists that you'd love to see square off, feel free to send in your suggestions. LIGHTNING TALKS Lightning talks give you a whirlwind tour of companies, projects (both completed and not), research, experiments, and interesting ideas in the Peer-to-Peer and Web Services spaces. Each Lightning Talk session gives a dozen presenters an opportunity to give a 5-minute elevator pitch. There are three Lightning Talk tracks: - Technical - Business - "Wobbly Bits" The last track is a space for unfinished, unpolished, possibly abandoned, in-need-of-help, and other "wobbly" projects. Presenters should talk about what they've learned, what they've solved or overcome, ongoing issues and tribulations, the current state of their project, what bits are needed, and so on. Sessions will be wrapped up with a panel discussion. Presentations should be informative, creative, and/or entertaining.
