Hi Team Thanks for setting this list up Gabor
I am president of the Open Source Developers' Club - which started as YAPC::AU, and then grew, adding PHP, Python and others until it became OSDC. This year, although OSDC seemed to be a success, it really missed promoting the roots - If you look at the YAPC list - http://www.yapc.org/old-events.html - you won't even see it there. This is a bit of an oversight. I think we spent so much time concentrating on the collaborative part, that we forgot to promote the individual parts. It probably depends a lot on the individual conference organisers (I am now the president of the parent group - mainly we are looking after the money and choosing the next conference). Anyway, OSDC has run for 6 years in Australia and 11 conferences globally - so the formulae is working nicely. We would encourage to you to use, steal, borrow, collaborate with us. http://www.osdcon.org/ (lots of changes about to happen here) http://www.osdc.com.au/ (really the Australian specific site now) But mainly I am emailing because I know that next year I want to personally promote Perl more, in one form or another. Thus making sure it is not lost when non-Perl people run the conference. Scott
