G. Wade Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:48:00 -0700 From: Reid Beels To: wade at anomaly.org Subject: Houston Perl Mongers + Open Source Bridge Hi, I'm working to organize Open Source Bridge, the third annual conference for open source citizens. It's happening June 21?24, 2011 in downtown Portland, Oregon. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Open Source Bridge is a volunteer-run conference that connects people across technologies, projects and interests. We would love to have members of the Houston Perl community involved as speakers and participants. The conference features presentations on a wide range of topics, from specific open source technologies to common experiences and shared concerns. There's also a full day of unconference sessions and a 24-hour hacker lounge for all of your collaboration needs. We?d be delighted if you would mention Open Source Bridge at your user group meetings and get us in touch with other groups in your community who might be interested in participating. We've provided a sample email below that you can customize and send to mailing lists. Our call for proposals is open through March 31st. This date is approaching quickly, so please pass this information on as soon as possible. USER GROUP DISCOUNT We'd like to offer a discounted registration rate of $200 to all of your members if they use the discount code "osbugluv" at registration. That?s $25 off the Early Bird rate, and $100 off our regular registration! CONFERENCE PASS RAFFLE We're also offering a free conference pass for you to raffle off to a member of your group! We?ve found that these raffles work best when you: 1) Let all of your members know about the conference, dates, and URL: http://opensourcebridge.org/ 2) Allow anyone in the group to sign up for the raffle. 3) Draw the winner at random, preferably at a public meeting. When you have selected a winner, email usergroups at opensourcebridge.org, CC the winner, and we?ll register them for you. Thank You! Reid Beels Open Source Bridge http://opensourcebridge.org/ ### DETAILS TO SHARE WITH YOUR GROUP?S MEMBERS Open Source Bridge http://opensourcebridge.org Open Source Bridge is a conference for people who work with open source technologies. It will take place June 21?24, 2011, in Portland, Oregon. The conference includes five tracks focused on connecting projects and experiences across different areas of open source. The schedule includes three days of traditional conference presentations, a day of free-form unconference sessions, and our 24-hour Hacker Lounge. You?ll find relevant information whether you write web apps, tinker with operating system internals, create hardware, run a business, write documentation, or contribute to open source in other ways. We're seeking presentation proposals through March 31st. Read our Call for Proposals here: http://opensourcebridge.org/call-for-proposals As a user group member, you can use the coupon code "osbugluv" to register at a discounted rate of $200 when you select either an Early Bird Registration (through April 15th), or a Regular Registration (after April 15th).
