Subject: [pm-h] Open Source Symposium CFP ending soon
Message-ID: <47598073.1626360a.6a9e.ffff8878@mx.google.com>

Just a reminder that there's only one week left for the Open Source Symposium Call For Participation!  http://www.texasoss.org/cfp (Deadline is December 15th)

If you've been considering submitting, but aren't sure, I encourage you to go ahead and submit!  I know several of you present at your user group meetings and aren't afraid to speak in front of a large audience.  The number of submissions are a little low right now, but it's to be expected since they usually all pour in during the last week (and some even after the deadline).

Once a few more talks start coming in, I'll likely post some of the topics on the schedule page.  This may give you an idea about something you may want to submit.  Remember, the topic range is wide and covers any aspect of open source that you'd like to talk about.


Symposium updates:
I've finally setup a new blog for news and updates.  You can subscribe to the feed from the from the News page (http://www.texasoss.org/news), or from the blog directly at http://blog.texasoss.org/

There's an IRC channel on Freenode, #texasoss

There is a panel session planned for the second day of the conference.  Topic is currently TBD.  More information will be posted to the site and blog.


CFP submissions:
To submit a proposal, please e-mail submissions at texasoss.org with the following information:
    Your Name
    Your Email
    [optional] Short Bio
    Presentation Title
    Presentation Abstract
    [optional] Links to your presentation

Subject: [pm-h] Reminder: No meeting this month
Message-ID: <20071210181143.02aea041@sovvan>

I was just reminded by my wife that tomorrow would normally be our
meeting night.

So this is a reminder for everyone else. For the past few years, we have
not had a meeting in December because everyone is usually busy. This is
the official (if late) reminder that we will not have our monthly
meeting.

Happy holidays, and see you in January.
