UTOSC 2010 Call for papers extended through August 1st!

[news 28]

I meant to send the original call for papers announcement back in

June, but this will have to do.

Time goes by quickly, so quickly in fact that top priorities get set

to the side and suddenly become missed opportunities. Fortunately

submitting a proposal for a presentation at the 2010 Utah Open Source

Conference doesn’t have to be one of them!

 

The deadline for paper submission has been extended until August 1st,

2010, just in time to sit down inside a nice cool coffee shop, sip

some of the great local roast and think about what to share with the

community.

 

Really it only takes a minute or two to place a submission and you

might find it so easy and fun that you submit more then one.

 

Don’t worry about not having a full presentation prepared, all that

needs to be submitted by the deadline is the proposal, a basic outline

of what would be presented to the community at the conference. The

next step is easy: sit back, relax and wait to hear if your proposal

was selected by vote for the conference. Once selected the entire

presentation(s) should be laid out and created.

 

Don’t have anything to talk about? That’s not what I’ve heard!

 

Topics can be as wide ranging as are the members of the Utah Open

Source community at large (and that is pretty gosh darn diverse!) and

should include a variety of experience levels. While one presenter may

submit a presentation on Building a Better Community Through

Statistics another (and an excellent presentation I attended in 2009,)

might be Advanced GIMP: The Digital Diet.

 

So don’t be afraid to submit a proposal to talk about your favorite

open source program(s) that just does silly things or maybe does

nothing at all!

 

Has anyone ever submitted a presentation on an open source pet rock? No? Hhmm…

 

All ideas are welcome, but please remember to keep with the 2010

theme: its better when its free*.

 

Being free is so easy that my open source pet rock was free!

 

Interested? Want more details? Visit the Utah Open Source Conference

website at http://2010.utosc.com and when your ready to submit your

proposal simply create an account and visit

http://2010.utosc.com/speaker/papers/ to submit your paper.

 

You could put it off again, but then you will have to pay to attend

and where’s the fun in that?
