[melbourne-pug] OSDC 2009 Call for Papers Reminder

[Richard Jones]

[Let's see if we can't get a nice, solid Python track at this year's  
conference. Topics to consider covering:

- what's new in Python (2 or 3)
- talk about Jython or IronPython
- Django is always popular
- I'd personally appreciate someone explaining how to use Pinax :)
- any of the other web frameworks could be covered too!
- pick a favourite library you use and talk about it

OSDC's a great mixing-pot of Open Source developers, technologies and  
ideas.]

This is a reminder that the call for papers for OSDC 2009 is coming up  
soon.
All that is required before the first deadline of 30th June is a 200  
word
summary of your talk emailed to papers at osdc.com.au - full details are  
available
on the website.

I would like to invite you to submit a paper and do a talk at our  
conference.

This conference is a grassroots style conference designed by developers
for developers.  We're planning to cover Perl, Python, Ruby PHP and Open
Source operating systems.  If you'd like us to cover something else as
well that is Open Source themed, please feel free.
