From vchacko at cybersurfers.com Tue Feb 5 10:04:20 2008 From: vchacko at cybersurfers.com (Varghese Chacko) Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:34:20 +0530 Subject: [Kochi-pm] Open Source Symposium 2008 Call For Participation Message-ID: <47A8A524.5040306@cybersurfers.com> Hello, I am pleased to announce the official Call For Participation for the Open Source Symposium 2008! http://www.texasoss.org/cfp The Open Source Symposium invites anyone interested in presenting a topic about anything open source related to submit a presentation proposal. Since one of the goals of the symposium is to expose open source to those that may not be familiar with it, we would like to see submissions related to introductory material, as well as more advanced topics. The Open Source Symposium will be April 25-26, at the C J Davidson Conference Center located on the Angelo State University campus, in San Angelo, Texas. Submission deadline is December 15th, 2007. The Open Source Symposium is an inexpensive two-day conference offering talks on various aspects of open source, such as software, development, and best practices. Some topics expected to be covered include Ajax, Perl, Ruby, Ubuntu, MySQL, and Python (the list could go on and on). Through the generosity of our sponsors and open source community members, we are able to keep attendance costs low and event quality high. We are looking for presentations to fill either a 20-minute (preferably) or 50-minute time slot. If you have an idea for a workshop or tutorial that you would like to offer and require more time, please feel free to submit your idea for review (the earlier, the better, as we would need to book an additional room). 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 Please visit http://www.texasoss.org/cfp for more information.
