     Make
2012 the year you speak at OSCON  Speaker proposals due January 12, 2012

Once a year, open source practitioners, advocates, and communities gather
at OSCON<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zof7saeef9u33fvta2p9jd4n0a4i0rcjjkdqho7g>to
learn and connect, and consider the state of open source. It's big—the
18 tracks cover a panoply of open source technologies and themes. Roughly
400 people will be presenting—should you be one of them?

If you have a new idea, a better way to do something, an interesting and
instructive case study (battle scars optional), or the desire to pass on
your hard-won knowledge, submit a
proposal<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zhvo3100kv7t223iv17hlhp5jqh0l3rkmuk7l0qg>to
lead conference sessions or tutorials at OSCON 2012. Speaking at the
event is a great way to share what you know with your peers, while getting
projects, ideas, and your company in front of a savvy and connected
audience.
