Call for Participation Opens for
2006 O'Reilly European Open Source Convention
Sebastopol, CA-- EuroOSCON, the O'Reilly European Open Source Convention,
is now accepting speaking proposals for its second annual event. This
year's theme is "Opening Innovation." With free and open source software
use on the rise all across the continent and particularly in governments,
EuroOSCON creates a place for developers, sys admins, entrepreneurs, and
business people working in free and open source software to come together
to delve into critical issues across the spectrum of open source
technologies. EuroOSCON takes place 18-21 September in Brussels, Belgium.
Proposals are being accepted until 6 March.
The program committee is seeking session and tutorial proposals full of
actionable information and advice, above and beyond what's available
online or in books. Proposals on the following platforms and applications
are especially welcome:
-Multimedia including voice (VoIP) and video
-AI including spam-busting, classification, clustering, and data
mining
-Collaboration including email, calendars, RSS, OPML, mashups, IM,
presence, and session initialization

managing communities

otherwise), and intrusion detection/cleanup
-Fun subjects with no immediate commercial application including
retro computing, games, and BitTorrent
EuroOSCON co-chairs Nat Torkington and Nikolaj Nyholm would also like to
review proposals for EuroOSCON that focus on the specific needs of the
European FLOSS community, particularly policy and government roles. Notes
Torkington, "We're taking the great response from last year, along with
delegates' suggestions, and building a EuroOSCON program that's focused on
the issues critical to the professional European open source community."
EuroOSCON brings a wide range of technologies, projects, and dimensions of
interest together under one roof. Tracks at EuroOSCON include: Business;
desktop apps; databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Ingres, and others;
emerging topics; Java; Linux dernel for sys admins; Linux for programmers;
Perl; PHP; programming, including everything that's not specific to a
particular language; Python; security; Ruby, including Ruby on Rails; web
apps, including Apache; and Windows.
EuroOSCON and its US counterpart, OSCON, are where developers, sys admins,
innovators, decision-makers, and open source advocates using free and open
source software gather to share ideas, discover code, find solutions, and
connect face to face. More information on speakers, sessions, tutorials,
and events will be available when general registration opens in April
2006.
