2009 JASIG Spring Conference Dallas, Texas March 1 - March 4 With the Spring 2009 JASIG Conference less than six months away, we're more than ready to begin planning the program! Board Director Katya Sadovsky from UC Irvine, a long-time JASIG community participant, has agreed to join me as co-chair of the program committee, and we are searching for volunteers to work along with us.
Program committee volunteers spend a few hours a month soliciting and selecting presentations, choosing keynote speakers, planning related events and activities (e.g., poster session, birds-of-a-feather sessions, reception, dine-around, etc.), and getting the word out. Administrative work is handled by CONCENTRA-CMS, our conference management partners. We all work as a team by email, phone, and wiki. I think past committee members will agree that the time spent together is fun and rewarding. Colleagues from a host of other open source/community source projects joined us last spring, as they will again this year. The result was one of the best conferences we've ever had, and we intend to "kick it up a notch" in Dallas. We hope you will consider volunteering for the program committee. If you have any questions, please feel free to email either of us. Thanks!
