I minor addendum to the below announcement to clarify a couple of points(since I got offline queries). DEADLINE: ------------------ The dealine to submit the talk proposal is 8-Oct. This is abstract only and not the entire presentation ! (for details see http://foss.in/2007/info/Call_for_Participation#Important_Dates)
TRAVEL SPONSORSHIP: ---------------------------------------- Those who are deterred by the lack of funds, while registering there is an option to say 1) I will sponsor myself 2) I will need part sponsorship 3) I need full sponsorship & cant come without sponsorship The suggested route to try: 1) Check with your own employer 2) Check if you can fund yourself 2.5) Check with sun (?) 3) Request for part sponsorship. If this is not viable request for full sponsorship. (See http://foss.in/2007/info/Call_for_Participation#Travel_Support_for_Speakers) ( If you are from sun the option 1 is likely to be the only one! :) You may choose suitably. While this doesn't guarantee sponsorship, it is worthwhile to explore the options instead of dropping without checking these out. Foss.in team will be discussing sponsorship related details with the speakers *after* their submissions are selected. warm regards Shiv On 9/26/07, S h i v <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > The FOSS.IN/2007 Call for Participation is announced and the > speaker/talk registration is now open.
