Here is the one I got a month or so ago also, notice no mention of Pulver in the email: Dear Former AstriCon Speaker, As a past participant and speaker at the wildly popular AstriCon, the Asterisk open source community conference, we are looking to get a jump start on this year's event to make it an even better and more relevant to our developers and users. We want to know what you want to see at AstriCon 08, scheduled for September 22 - 25, 2008 in Glendale, Arizona. We've already put the wheels in motion to develop the ultimate learning experience, covering the most important topics and issues to the open source community. We also want to feature the best speakers to be found. Your suggestions are important. AstriCon provides a wealth of information for those who are getting started with Asterisk, as well as those who have already discovered the power of open source telephony. AstriCon is the only face-to-face gathering for the Asterisk community - a diverse group of users, developers, entrepreneurs, and other fans. As you're already aware, it's a great place to get together, share ideas, experiences, pitfalls and the success that open source offers us all. If you would, please kindly respond with your thoughts on topics, trends, development and business issues that matter. It can be as brief as a title suggestion or as in depth as a formal speaking proposal. All submissions will be taken into consideration. And if you would like to join us and speak again, please let us know. If not, perhaps you've recently heard and would like to recommend a compelling speaker on open source, or know of someone who has made "rock star" status that we should recruit to join us. Nowhere will you find a greater mix of individuals. From code gurus to venture capitalists to social activists, AstriCon brings together an astounding and vibrant mixture of perspectives, goals and outlooks. >From organized group meetings to all-night coding sessions in the Code Zone, AstriCon is the place to connect with the Asterisk community. Please send your suggestions as soon as possible. We were looking to start putting together our schedule by mid-February. Please send any suggestions, titles, etc to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Let us know your thoughts. You can help make this the ultimate experience of the year. Sincerely, Steve Sokol Lisa King AstriCon Co-Found Event Coordinator Honorary Chairman AstriCon Attachment Thanks Steve Totaro _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
