Explore the State of the Art of Open Source at the
2005 O'Reilly Open Source Convention
Convention Call for Participation Is Now Open
Sebastopol, CA--Since 1999, OSCON, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention,
has been the central gathering place for people who are passionate about
exploring the state of the art of open source and free technologies. The
tradition continues with the opening of the Call for Proposals for OSCON
2005. Open source leaders, innovators, hackers, and programmers are
encouraged to submit proposals to speak at OSCON, which is scheduled for
August 1-5 in Portland, Oregon. Proposals are due no later than February
13, 2005.
The market for open source products and services has never looked rosier,
but with success comes complexity and challenges. This year's OSCON
investigates how software development is moving to another level, and how
developers and businesses are adjusting to new business models and
architectures.
Specific topics and tracks at OSCON 2005 include: Linux 2.6 and other open
source operating systems, Java 1.5, PHP 5, Python, Perl 6, Databases
(including MySQL and PostgreSQL), Apache, XML, Applications, Ruby,
Security, Plone, Ubuntu, and Knoppix. Proposals for sessions (45-90
minutes), tutorials (3-6 hours), panels, and workshops that appeal to all
levels of developers, systems and network administrators, and their
managers in the following areas would be particularly welcome:
- Aspects of building applications, services, and systems that use the new
capabilities of the open source platform
- Burning issues for Mozilla, web apps, and beyond
- The commoditization of software: who and/or what can show us the money?
- Network-enabled collaboration
- Software customizability, including software as a service
- Law, licensing, politics, migration, standards, and how best to navigate
other choppy waters
- As companies of all sizes and industries take the open source plunge,
how is the open source landscape adjusting?
OSCON 2005 is already taking shape: Mitchell Baker of Mozilla is the first
to sign on as a plenary speaker. The full speaker roster will be developed
by a committee of long-time members of the open source community, chaired
by Nathan Torkington, that includes Daniel Steinberg, Adam Trachtenberg,
Guido van Rossum, Allison Randal, Edd Dumbill, Josh Berkus, Jeremy
Zawodny, Sam Ruby, Matt Sergeant, Glen Vanderburg, and Stas Bekman.
"Open source is a forest fire, burning down the markets for proprietary
operating systems and content development platforms," observed Torkington.
"This year, we'll fan the flames and look at the businesses thriving in
the path cleared by the inferno."
Registration for the 2005 O'Reilly Open Source Convention opens in April;
hotel and program information will be available shortly.
