Getting to JabberCon 2001: A Call for Developers The following was posted by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via the Jabber DevZone web site (http://dev.jabber.org/): Hi, stpeter here. As many in the Jabber community know, I happen to work for Jabber.com. We (here I put on my corporate hat) are sponsoring a gathering of people and companies who are working with Jabber, which we're calling JabberCon 2001 (see JabberCon.com). This conference will be held on August 20 and 21 in the mountains of Colorado, and we're expecting that it will bring together some of the best minds in the Jabber community for discussions, learning, personal interaction, and just plain fun. To make this conference all that it can be, we want to get as many members of the open-source community to the gathering as we can. Unfortunately, we realize that not everyone can get their employer to pay for the cost of attending, or even has an employer in the first place. :-) So we would like to sponsor the attendance of as many open-source developers as we can. Obviously Jabber.com has limited resources and can't afford travel and lodging expenses for everyone in the Jabber community, much as we would like to. However, if you want to be at JabberCon -- to show off a Jabber application you've written, to give a talk or run a birds-of-a-feather session, to learn from the Jabber gurus who will be there -- then we want to hear from you. Once we know how many people from the open-source community want to attend, we will do what it takes (e.g., by recruiting additional conference sponsors) to ensure that as many members of the community as possible can participate in this first-ever Jabber community event. If you would like be partially or fully sponsored for JabberCon, please send an email to me (Peter Saint-Andre) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell me a little about what you've done with Jabber and why you would like to participate. I'll collect all the responses for review by Andre Durand, General Manager of Jabber.com, who will make the final decisions. And if you have any questions, as always I'm just a Jabber message away at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for your interest, and happy Jabbering! http://jabber.org/?oid=1316 _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
