Dear Brisbane PM committee/list owner,

Thankyou for your support over the years for the Open Source Developers'
Conference.  We would love to invite your group members to submit to this
year's call for presentations, and would be delighted if you'd pass this
message on for us.

------------------------

The Open Source Developers' Conference is running in Auckland this year
on 21st - 23rd October.  Save this date now!  Once again it'll be a
conference not to be missed.

The Call for Proposals is just about over, it closes next Monday 15th
July.  Make sure that you get your submission in as soon as possible so
that you can be involved in this awesome event.

We have had some high calibre submissions so far covering a diverse 
range of topics including

  * web server security
  * disaster management
  * documentation
  * anonymity
  * security in the Cloud.

Areas we are currently lacking contributions include

  * development tools and Best Practices
  * open source hardware
  * identity management for the open internet
  * working with open source databases such as MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL
  * mobile platforms and open source
  * the next great thing in Open Source focused languages

We'd also love to hear about those companies who have managed to create 
Business solutions with Open Source tech. Open Source is a viable, 
cost-effective tool for Business solutions. We want to hear from those 
of you who have created your own solution using this technology. What 
were the advantages/disadvantages of using Open Source? How did your 
solution hold up in the long run?

Visit the Call For Papers page http://osdc.org.nz/cfp/ for more 
information and get in touch!

Please, also tell your friends!

With thanks,

   Jacinta, on behalf of the 2013 OSDC Auckland team.
