[technest] Fwd: OSDC 2013, Auckland, NZ, Call for Papers ends Monday

[Kim Hawtin]

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thought this was relevant. Has been posted reasonably widely, however 
not everyone may have seen it yet.

I've been to OSDC only once before, thought the vibe of the conference 
was rather good. Also if you haven't been over to Auckland, its a good a 
reason as any to get out there =)

regards,

Kim

The Open Source Developers' Conference is running in Auckland this year
on 21st - 23rd October.  Save this date now!  Once again it'll be a
conference not to be missed.

The Call for Proposals is just about over, it closes next Monday 15th
July.  Make sure that you get your submission in as soon as possible so
that you can be involved in this awesome event.

We have had some high calibre submissions so far covering a diverse
range of topics including

   * web server security
   * disaster management
   * documentation
   * anonymity
   * security in the Cloud.

Areas we are currently lacking contributions include

   * development tools and Best Practices
   * open source hardware
   * identity management for the open internet
   * working with open source databases such as MySQL, MariaDB and 
PostgreSQL
   * mobile platforms and open source
   * the next great thing in Open Source focused languages

We'd also love to hear about those companies who have managed to create
Business solutions with Open Source tech. Open Source is a viable,
cost-effective tool for Business solutions. We want to hear from those
of you who have created your own solution using this technology. What
were the advantages/disadvantages of using Open Source? How did your
solution hold up in the long run?

Visit the Call For Papers page http://osdc.org.nz/cfp/ for more
information and get in touch!

Please, also tell your friends!

With thanks,

    Jacinta, on behalf of the 2013 OSDC Auckland team.
