Subject: [hbpm] Open Source Developers' Conference 2006 - Call for papers
Message-ID: <447AADF1.8080409@perltraining.com.au>

I invite you all to join us at the conference this year!

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

The Open Source Developers' Conference is an Australian conference
designed for developers, by developers. It covers numerous programming
languages across a range of operating systems.  We're seeking papers on
Open Source languages, technologies, projects and tools as well as topics
of interest to Open Source developers.

The conference will be held in Melbourne, Victoria (Monash University's
Caulfield Campus) from the 6th to the 8th of December, 2006.

Last year's conference had about 160 people and around 60 presentations on
a range of topics - see http://osdc2005.cgpublisher.com/proposals/ for a
list.  This list might also be useful if you're looking for ideas on what
sort of thing would be appropriate.

If you have any questions, or have never submitted a paper proposal
before, please read our FAQ page at http://www.osdc.com.au/faq/index.html
If you don't find an answer there, please contact richard at osdc.com.au

To submit a proposal, follow the instructions at
http://www.osdc.com.au/papers/cfp06.html

This year we're also going to run a day of tutorials. See the CFP
for more information.

The deadline for proposals is 12th July 2006.

Hope to see you there!

        The OSDC 2006 committee.
