I just foreward the information about two conferences I'd like to apply for a talk.
Are you sure these conferences are serious? I received an e-mail about them and it looked liked spam.
Well, the initial mail from them made its way into my spam folder as well but I was used to this from former conferences as well because people who do not really know how to write a simple e-mail tend to do such work.
I would definitely be interested in opinions like yours. That's why I was posting a quite complete correspondence to the list. I decided to send an abstract. In case it will be accepted I will ask them for paying of expenses with the following reasoning:
I will give you my knowledge for free. I will not ask free projects (like Debian) for paying my expenses to sponsor your conference. I have no personal profit (except of touristical attractions ;-) ) from joining your conference (in contrast to a DebConf or something like that). So either you will pay my travel and accomodation our you have to find somebody else.
Then see whether it is serious. Would you think this is a good plan?
Kind regards
Andreas.
