Flourish 2011: Call For Speakers

Hello All,

Below is a request for speakers for the Flourish Free & Open Source
Software conference UIC puts on every year.

We are also in need of people who are passionate about open source
software or open culture to help us run this event.  Please contact me
directly if you are interested.  It is a great way to give back to
open source without coding.

Thank you,
eviljoel


*ABOUT FLOURISH*

Now in its fifth year, the Flourish Conference promotes the use and adoption
of Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) by demonstrating the practical
applications of FLOSS for business, academia and the enthusiast community.
Through engaging talks and in-depth workshops, Flourish introduces
participants to new concepts and ideas, gives them the opportunity
(re)connect with the local open-source community, and provides a forum for
healthy debate.  More information is available at http://www.flourishconf.com/.

Flourish 2011 will be held on April 1st-3rd at the University of
Illinois at Chicago.

*CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS*

The Flourish organizers are now accepting speaker proposals for Flourish
2011.

There are principally two types of talks: presentations and workshops.

Presentations are typically an hour long (incl. Q&A) and discuss
open-source-related matters of technical, community, or industry importance.
Past presentations have been fairly high-level and tackled a diverse array
of topics--from kernel hacking and programming languages to
community/project management and women in open source. Note that, if we get
a lot of proposals for a particular topic, we may opt to build a panel
discussion.

Workshops are usually three hours long and explore a particular topic in an
intensive, hands-on environment. In the past, Flourish has offered workshops
in Android, Websphere, Erlang, Processing, Plone and Drupal. The organizers
provide all the necessary connectivity.

So, do you have expertise to share? Please fill out the information below and
