Hello! Today we would like to inform you about the extended deadline for paper submissions at the very end of this year, December 31.
So far, we've got quite a bunch of interesting papers submitted, seom details see below. Confirmed keynotes come from Simon Phipps and Roy Fielding. Because we started somehow late to organize the conference, the schedule for the Call for Papers became quite tight. As a consequence we decided to extend the submission deadline to December 31, 2006 in order to give you a better opportunity to submit abstracts about your project and/or your field of work. Without spoiling too much of the program announcement: E.g. we will have a talk about Nexenta a.k.a. GNU/Solaris, a tutorial about virtualization technologies in OpenSolaris, a couple of development tool/techniques will be presented and a variety of other interesting submissions. The conference is pretty international as of now, outside Europe we have submissions from USA, Canada, India, Argentina and I want to mention Russia, too. The CfP at http://www.osdevcon.org/cfp.html gives a good overview about further abstracts we would welcome submissions for. So if you would like to give a presentation next year (2/27-3/2/2007) in Berlin please point your browser at http://www.osdevcon.org/submission.html . This seems to be a frequent question: Please note that accommodation costs for accepted speakers will of course be paid by the German Unix User Group (GUUG). If you're on a tight budget regarding travel expenses: There might be some possibility to also refund travel expenses depended on the sponsors, quality of the paper and travel distance. If you're interested in that, please contact us at (see e-mail address on the web site), and a comment in the submission would be helpful. Cheers, Dirk -- Dr. Dirk Wetter, GUUG e.V. http://www.guug.de Program Committee OpenSolaris Developer Conference http://www.osdevcon.org
