Call for Participation Opens for the First Annual
O'Reilly European Open Source Convention
Sebastopol, CA--Building on the success of OSCON--a.k.a. the O'Reilly Open
Source Convention--planning for the very first O'Reilly European Open
Source Convention (EuroOSCON) is underway. The call for participation is
now open and speaker proposals are being accepted until May 23. EuroOSCON
will be held at the Hotel Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on
October 17-20, 2005.
EuroOSCON's theme is "The Future Is Open." The convention targets the
specific needs of European developers and programmers, helping them to
deliver the benefits of open source technology in all its variations to
their companies and organizations. The program committee, chaired by
Nathan Torkington, is seeking proposals that focus on sharing best
practices, and helping corporations, government agencies, and non-profits
to seamlessly integrate the best and newest open source technology.
The convention focuses on all aspects of building applications, services,
and systems that use the new capabilities and showcase the diversity of
the open source platform while maintaining a practical edge. Mature
technologies will be featured alongside newer and less developed
technology, allowing attendees to take in the full range of open source's
capabilities.
Tracks and topics at EuroOSCON include:
- Linux, other open source operating systems, and applications
- Java
- PHP
- Python
- Perl
- Databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Ingres, MaxDB, and SQLite
- Security
- Emerging Topics: AJAX, SOA, Wireless, mobile, p2p, visualization,
patents, licenses, business models, sociology, privacy, and more
EuroOSCON attracts developers, systems and network administrators, and
their managers from diverse organizations. Attendees have a wide range of
experience, from beginners to expert users. Proposals for sessions (45 or
90 minutes long) and tutorials (3 hours or 6 hours long) are deeply
technical, either focusing on code or giving practical architectural
advice. Marketing presentations are not accepted.
In addition to sessions and tutorials led by open source experts and
luminaries, EuroOSCON will also feature plenty of time for informal
networking, entertaining evening events, and an exhibit hall filled with
relevant products.
Attendee registration opens in late June 2005.
The 2005 O'Reilly conference calendar includes ETech, the O'Reilly
Emerging Technology Conference; the MySQL Users Conference, co-presented
with MySQL AB; Where 2.0 Conference; and Web 2.0 (co-hosted by Tim
O'Reilly and John Battelle, and co-produced with MediaLive International).
O'Reilly conferences bring together forward-thinking business and
technology leaders, shaping ideas and influencing industries around the
globe. For over 25 years, O'Reilly has facilitated the adoption of new and
important technologies by the enterprise, putting emerging technologies on
