AOSS 2

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The second Australian Open Source Symposium (AOSS 2) will be held in
Adelaide on Saturday November 25, 2000.

The purpose of this event is to bring together the Australian Open Source
community on an annual basis.

AOSS is run by developers, for developers. Our goals are to promote the
sharing of information and experience, give the community a place to
interact, and nurture and harness synergies between Open Source projects.

Just as Open Source is a little different, so is AOSS. While we welcome
formal papers, we are actively encouraging informal (but well prepared)
presentations that are both timely and interesting. We know that Open Source
changes fast, and that developers would rather write code than papers.

The first AOSS event was a resounding success. If you are an Open Source
Developer, get involved and make the next one be even better.

Particular topics we are looking for:

       Open Source ideology and/or economics.
       "Work in progress" for an ongoing project.
       "Life in the trenches" experiences from a project (successful or
not).
       "Cool ideas" for those who want to start a new project.

TIMETABLE:

Abstracts (around 100 words) are due Monday, 25 September 2000.

PRESENTERS WILL RECEIVE FREE REGISTRATION


Please email submissions to aoss at esec.com.au


AOSS 2 is proudly supported by AUUG Inc, ISOC-AU, and SAGE-AU.
