Call for Papers
Open Source Developers' Conference 2008
1st - 5th December 2008, Sydney, Australia

The Open Source Developers' Conference 2008 is a conference run by
open source developers, for developers and business people. It
covers numerous programming languages across a range of operating
systems, and related topics such as business processes, licensing,
and strategy. Talks vary from introductory pieces through to the
deeply technical. It is a great opportunity to meet, share, and
learn with like-minded individuals.

This year, the conference will be held in Sydney, Australia during
the first week of December (1st - 5th). If you are an Open Source
maintainer, developer or user, the organising committee would
encourage you to submit a talk proposal on open source tools,
solutions, languages or technologies you are working with.

For more details and to submit your proposal(s), goto:

If you have any questions or require assistance with your
submission, please don't hesitate to ask!

We recognise the importance of Open Source
in providing a medium for collaboration between individuals,
researchers, business and government. In recognition of this and
ensure a high standard of presentations, we intend to peer-review
all submitted papers.
